Hi, I'm Isha Hans

I'm a Toronto-based mixed media artist with over 20 years of practice. Trained as an experience designer, I've been incorporating experiential elements into my art since 2020. My 'Play and Display' series is a manifestation of that exploration, inviting you to walk through my artistic process and form a personal connection with the artwork before you display it in your space.

I've chosen puzzles for this series and reimagined the whole puzzle making experience to make them more accessible. Like my artworks, there's much more to these puzzles than meets the eye!

About PumBhirri Studios

I make art to satisfy my creative passion and a desire to express meaning. Occasionally, I transform my creations into experiences and products, if and when there's a meaningful connection.

If you are curious about the name, 'Pumbhirri’ is a Punjabi word which refers to a spinning top. The compelling traits of a spinning top resemble the artistic process behind each of my artworks.

Currently, I offer
original artworks for sale,
puzzles to immerse yourself in details, and
collaboration for commissions.

My philosophy

As an artist, I believe that art should neither be passive nor a picture devoid of meaning! Art carries profound meaning constructed jointly by the artist and its viewer.

Embodying this philosophy, each of my artwork is based on a vision expressed through minimal, yet obvious, visual cues in the form of shapes, lines, textures etc. There is a deliberate level of abstraction, just enough for you to construct the meaning through your unique perception.

Whether you delve into intricate details or step back to reflect on the intended vision, the unconscious tapping in of your memory and experiences adds a personal touch. You lend a piece of yourself to the artwork, making it yours for play...and display!
