Shalini describes herself as a ‘Creative Experimentalist.’
'For me creativity is a journey of experimentation and exploration. The process is as important as the end result.'
SHALINI BHARADWAJ
Mixed Media Artist / Jewellery Designer
HUTKE is the creation of designer and artist Shalini Bharadwaj. Being interested in art and design from an early age, Shalini studied Graphic Design at Nottingham Trent University where she won numerous national design awards including the prestigious D&AD (British Design and Art Direction) Award and the Society of Typographic Designers Award and graduated with a First Class Honours degree. After a successful career in online design, having worked with many leading London Digital Design Studios, Shalini now pursues various creative endeavours out of her West London Studio - HUTKE being one of them.
Shalini describes herself as a ‘Creative Experimentalist.’ She says, ‘For me creativity is a journey of experimentation and exploration. The process is as important as the end result. Whether it’s painting, digital design or jewellery making, I rarely start with a preconceived idea. I like to see where the material and momentum take me.'
Art
Shalini explores a wide range of subject matter including still life, figurative work, abstract landscapes and stylised portraiture. Her paintings are characterised by a dynamic interplay of intense light and shadow, often contrasted with the delicacy of translucent forms. Her layered compositions are built through a mixed-media approach using acrylic paint, charcoal, high-pigment inks and Japanese silk tissue paper, creating surfaces rich in texture, depth, and visual complexity.
Shalini has exhibited widely across the UK, including at the Royal Society of British Artists at the Mall Galleries, London, where her painting Take a Pause was selected for their Bicentennial Exhibition in 2023. In 2025, she reached a significant milestone when two of her works were sold at auction at Bonhams, London. A regular exhibitor at the Affordable Art Fair London (Hampstead and Battersea), Harrow Open Studios, and the Borough of Ealing Art Trail, Shalini’s work is rapidly gaining recognition among collectors of South Asian art.
Inspired by her Indian heritage, Shalini’s work seeks to evoke deep emotional connection. She reflects, “When people engage with art that resonates with their own memories and experiences, it can lead to a rich tapestry of emotions.” Shalini draws on cultural and personal associations - memories of people, places, objects and childhood nostalgia. Capturing fleeting moments in time, she creates evocative visual narratives that remain open-ended, making each encounter a dialogue between image and memory.
Jewellery
All jewellery in the HUTKE collection is designed by Shalini in meticulous detail and many of the statement pieces are handcrafted by her in her West London studio. All other pieces are made to her designs and specifications by a family of generational artisans in Jaipur – India. Fair trade traditional practices, women empowerment and sustainable small batch production are very important to Shalini. Most pieces are made in limited edition many being one of a kind. All packaging used is recyclable. Shalini is currently involved in developing a project to enable the use of recycled metals in jewellery, upcycling old jewellery components and resetting used natural gemstones.
Shalini takes commissions for fine art and jewellery design projects.
