Hansika Mangwani

Hansika Mangwani is an emerging light artist and trained art therapist based in Delhi, India. Her practice is shaped by personal memory and cultural inheritance, drawing from the experiences that defined her early years. These influences are thoughtfully interwoven with a natural curiosity for science, allowing her work to move fluidly between feeling and analysis, instinct and understanding.

Working with light, sound, space, and duration, Hansika creates immersive environments that invite viewers to slow down and tune inward. Her installations subtly explore the relationship between the body and the mind, revealing how emotion and physiology are quietly interconnected. At the centre of her practice is a meaningful dialogue between technology and humanity-where scientific inquiry and artistic sensitivity come together to create experiences that are both reflective and restorative.

Alongside her artistic work, Hansika is a trained art therapist who believes deeply in the healing potential of creative expression. Her therapeutic approach encourages emotional awareness, regulation, and personal insight through art-making. By bringing therapy into her broader creative practice, she expands the purpose of art beyond aesthetics, viewing it as a space for care, connection, and growth.

With a background in Virtual Reality, she is particularly interested in dissolving the boundaries between digital and physical realities. For Hansika, art is not simply something to be viewed-it is something to be experienced, felt, and used as a catalyst for deeper self-understanding and transformation.
