Siri Khandavilli is an inter-media artist working in the realms of video art, paintings and installations.

Siri Khandavilli’s videos have a painterly and poetic quality. Sometimes ‘performances for the camera’ form the raw footage of her works. The unconventional use of intense colors, space, scale and strange juxtapositionings combine to create a mesmerizing effect. The imagery is strange, sensual and at times ambiguous.

Siri Khandavilli was born in Mysore, India. She grew up in Bangalore near Shankarmutt, a Hindu temple and Vedic school. Her father, N. Lakshminarayan, was a renowned Kannada film director. She trained in Mysore traditional painting and went on to study BFA (painting) at Chitrakala Parishath, Bangalore.
