Listening to the call of her heart, Deepti Agrawal Mittal
has come a long way in taking forward the traditional art form of Madhubani
Painting, and in this process, developed and created whole new genre of art
which she calls Modern Madhubani.
She is credited for starting online Madhubani Painting classes which are self-paced, interactive and have become popular with art lovers around the globe.

A multi-faceted artist, Deepti has covered a wide range of mediums and forms.
From home accents, kitchen decor to personal wardrobe, she has practically
touched every aspect of life with her paint brush. The latest sensation after
her hand painted leather shoes, are her exclusive line of designer leather
hand-bags known as “La Sak",
Bidding farewell to a high-flying main-stream corporate
career for an uncertain and scantily-paid field of art, wasn't a
straightforward and easy decision for Deepti. After her MBA and serving in the corporate world for initial couple of years, her profound passion for art couldn't lay dormant anymore. She took this leap of faith into an altogether
different area not so professionally recognized even to this day.
Her creative stimuli, persistence and passion paid off.
Taking it forward one step at a time, she is capitalizing on her experience in
this ancient folk and her interest in the contemporary styles to create a new
genres of art which appeal to the modern tastes and interests. Her canvases are in galleries across USA and
her paintings are featured in global art magazines. Since her art pieces
inspired with spirituality are deemed antarctic, they are invited for shows in
cancer centers in the New England area of USA.
From making greeting cards to painting on sarees and salwar
suits to now introducing new genres under the banner of “Deepti Designs”, she
certainly has brought her style of art a long way which she feels is just the
beginning of her long journey.
Despite achieving greater height, Deepti is strongly
attached to her roots. She donates a part of her art-auctions to those
less-fortunate women artists in the rurals of Bihar who she informally got
trained from. She strongly believes that those unnamed artisans are the true
keepers of this Indian heritage which is ancient and timeless and the legacy of
which needs to be passed on to the generations ahead...
