About Tulika

Tulika Prakash is a contemporary mixed media artist based in Malaysia whose work explores identity and interconnectedness through layered compositions made from reclaimed fabrics.

Central to Prakash’s practice is the idea of the individual as a fragment of a larger whole. Drawing inspiration from textile traditions, cultural patterns and lived experience across multiple environments, her compositions reflect how identity is shaped through layered influences rather than singular narratives. Geometry, repetition and color function both as structural devices and conceptual metaphors, suggesting the invisible frameworks through which people, culture and memory remain interconnected.

Before turning to full-time art practice, Prakash spent over two decades in the media and advertising, working in analytics and strategic roles across international environments. Her exposure to diverse cultures and disciplines continues to inform her structured yet intuitive approach to material and process. Prakash has exhibited her work in Kuala Lumpur, Thailand and Indonesia, and continues to develop textile-based works that examine the relationship between the individual and the larger universal whole.

What People Are Saying

  • "'Istanbul Dreams' is so evocative and playful, yet contemplative and able to carry one to far away places. I also love how fabrics have been incorporated into the piece. It gives it that extra dimension which draws the observer closer into the piece"

    — Anne Chin, Art Collector

  • "Each piece (In her solo exhibition) appears as a constellation of textures and forms, suggesting that the smallest fragments can participate in a larger cosmic order. The tactile qualities of fabric, the rhythm of stitched lines, and the layering of color generate a visual field that feels both earthly and transcendent."

    - Suzlee Ibrahim - Renowned Malaysian Artist & Dean, Faculty of Fine arts at National Academy of Arts, Culture and Heritage (ASWARA)

  • "The Dreamweaver" reminded me of how peace in the limitlessness of the dreams felt like in the household that I grew up in. It reminded me of my safe space I cherished. Thank you."
