From the lush landscape of Kerala,  where water whispers through the backwaters and art breathes through tradition,  Chithra Jyothi (Saphy M S) emerges as an artist of meditative depth and quite radiance. Her journey is not simply one of technique and mastery but of spiritual reflection - a life long dialogue between nature and soul, where every brush stroke becomes a prayer and every colour a pulse of being.

Born in Chettikulangara a traditional village in the heart of Alappuzha district Chithra Jyothi‘s creative roots trace back to a lineage of inspiration and mentorship.  Under the early guidance of her uncle, the acclaimed Artist Krishnan Pattoor, and later Artist Kochukutty, she found not just the language of art but its sacred rhythm - she went on to study at the Govt. Raja Ravi Varma College of Fine Arts, completing a 5-year National Diploma in Fine Arts that laid the foundation for her distinctive aesthetic - one that blends discipline with introspection, structure with soul.

Her artworks are regularly exhibited in various art galleries, including twice at the Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai.

Now she is selected for the Panorama International Arts Award 2025 of Writers Capital International Foundation. The award will be presented at the exhibition in Athens, Grees, from July 1 to 3, 2026.
