About
A deaf currency artist based in the region. The practice began with a single withdrawn rupee note and now spans six countries — each note painted in gouache, ink, and gold leaf, at a scale that fits in the palm of a hand.
The studio is built to be experienced visually and at your own pace. Every interaction — adding to a cart, sending an order, reading a caption — is shown on screen, captioned, and confirmed. Nothing depends on sound.
How to reach her
Darkhshan speaks in colour, not sound. She’s Deaf and non-verbal, so every part of this studio — enquiries, commissions, orders — happens in writing. Message the studio and she’ll read every word and write straight back; nothing here depends on a phone call.
