Hello, I'm Garima.

I’m an artist and illustrator based in The Netherlands. I reconnected with my creative self a decade ago to escape the loneliness of being new in a foreign land. My artworks speak the language of joyful brush strokes and vibrant colors.

On a usual day you will find me in my home studio painting flowers, teapots, houses and cute, curly little people. I live with my husband and our sweet little daughter in a quiet village close to Amsterdam. I paint every day and share my art journey on my Instagram account (Garimasrivastava_art) through my daily posts and videos. I am often told that I make art look achievable,simple and yet beautiful.

I find inspiration from the world around me and love letting my imagination do the rest. I navigate between art mediums, styles and subjects to keep my art routine fresh. While I love the freshness of watercolors, the eccentricity of ink , the vibrancy of gouache and the rough scribbles of pencil colors, I equally love creating art with procreate on my iPad.

Apart from lots of personal projects, I love creating art for licensing for fashion, stationery and home decor products. You can find more of my latest work and portfolio on my website.

I personally think of art as a therapy and believe that one must first love their creative process before expecting hearts on social media. My own creative process follows this approach and I want to instill the same in my Skillshare students.

Thanks for taking time to read a bit about me.
