Hailing from Kerala, India, Tinu Verghis departed from her successful modeling career to confront systemic injustices and gender inequalities through art.
Rooted in a childhood deeply intertwined with rural rituals, Tinu's concept of 'nature' extends beyond flora and fauna. To her, it embodies the unbroken connection between the individual and their environment, embracing unconscious continuity.
Tinu's artistic journey is dedicated to creating immersive experiences that captivate participants' senses, fostering a profound connection with the world. Through a realm of non-knowledge, she passionately communicates the intensity and ecstasy of existence, seeking to inspire participants' hearts and minds.
Additionally, Tinu is a certified farmer, recognized by the Directorate of Agriculture in Goa, India. She cultivates rice on 2500 sqm of land.
Tinu received the President's Award at the International Biennial of Contemporary Art (Italy) in 2015 for her video art, 'Under My Skin,' and The Winston Oh Travel Research Award (Singapore) in 2016.
