About

Radha “Rahhh Rahhh” Parmar is a British-Indian oil painter whose practice is deeply influenced by the Japanese art of Shibari. Working primarily with oils on canvas, she explores the bound body as both subject and symbol — a site of vulnerability, strength, and transformation. Her paintings capture the tension between restriction and release, where rope becomes more than an object of restraint; it becomes a language of intimacy, resilience, and beauty.

Drawing from themes of identity and the inner landscape of human emotion, Rahhh Rahhh creates visceral, dreamlike works that invite viewers to confront their own relationship with power, fragility, and freedom. Each piece is layered with rich texture and symbolic depth, transforming the aesthetics of Shibari into an exploration of the soul’s endurance and surrender.

As an emerging artist, she is building a body of work that bridges tradition and contemporary expression, offering not only striking imagery but what it means to be bound and ultimately, to be released.
