MALA
HASSETT
Visual artist 

Mala Hassett graduated from Central Saint Martins, London, with a First Class Honours degree in Graphic Design. Following a career designing books for London publishers, she returned to her first love of painting. She currently lives and works in Dorset, UK. 

 

Born and brought up in Mumbai, India, Mala has lived in the UK from her mid twenties. Going from a noisy metropolis to a city in central England was a major cultural shock. For her, this dramatic change in cultures resulted in a deep longing for colour, which plays a major role in all of Mala’s works. 

​

Mala draws inspiration from the myriad colours of nature. Her paintings are made up of interwoven layers of pigment, creating depth, texture and glowing colour.
