More About Jenny Bhatt

Question IconWhat inspires you?

Eastern philosophy (Hinduism and Buddhism) and Pop Art

Question IconDescribe your creative process.

My art is a mix of pop surrealism and eastern philosophy. My imagery is inspired by street art, digital culture, psychedelia and trance music. I work within a concept I created, called MokshaShots.
In eastern philosophy, 'Moksha' means salvation. Considering our lifestyles, we probably won’t get to full fledged Moksha, but we can get a shot of it. Everyone can make their own MokshaShot out of anything they find fulfilling: NFTs, art, a vacation, a Ferrari or a tequila shot! I like to use humour and satire to make social comments or cultural critiques.
