Nigams art is a harmonious fusion of her training as a Fine Arts graduate from the prestigious International School for Girls in Jaipur and her expertise as a Graduate Gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America. Her entire body of work, unified under the theme Life in Minimalist Emotions (LIME), explores the profound simplicity of human emotions.

My work is about capturing the quiet power of human feelings, says Nigam. Through minimalist art, I aim to create a space for introspection, allowing viewers to connect with the essence of their own emotions. The use of gemstone dust not only adds a tactile richness but also symbolizes the enduring beauty and complexity of our inner worlds.
