Niyamat Mehta (b. 1999), labelled by Firenze Yes Please as the ‘Emerging Artist to Invest In 2023’ is a rising artist gaining significant attention within the art world. Mehta was the youngest artist on display at the Palazzo Albrizzi in the 2022 Venice Biennale, amongst the world’s most prestigious art fairs featuring the likes of Anish Kapoor, Simone Leigh and Célestin Faustin.
Showcasing her work at the Kensington Town Hall in London, Artesfera di Valmadrera in Rome, Centre d’Art Contemporain in Geneva and more, Mehta’s works are interwoven with a profound connection to her Indian heritage. This led famed sculptor Greenville Davey to hail her as a potential artistic power that could be a generational bridge of artistic cultures. In an interview with Firenze Yes Please, she cited the ‘ever contemporary’ form of Beethoven’s final String Quartets as inspirations for her work, which despite being written almost two centuries ago, baffle the most avante garde artists to this date.
