About

Meet LIPI SRIVASTAVA

Hello! I’m Lipi Srivastava – an artist based in Hong Kong, a corporate professional, a wife, a mother of two teenage boys, and a proud pet parent to our Beagle.

My journey as an artist was not something I had planned. For over 25 years, I built a career in Human Resources, working in global leadership roles across multinational companies in India and Hong Kong. With a background in Psychology and Organizational Behavior, my professional life was always about people, strategy, and leadership.

But life took an unexpected turn in 2021 when I was diagnosed with cancer. What followed were multiple surgeries and chemotherapy – a phase that completely changed me. During this time, I turned to painting and music as a way to cope, heal, and rediscover myself. What started as a therapeutic outlet soon became a passion.

The Art I Create

I am a self-taught artist, and my work is mostly in acrylic and oil. I love bringing bold, vibrant themes to life on canvas and even on recycled bottles. For me, art is meditative – it connects me to my inner self, keeps me grounded in gratitude, and fills me with positive energy.

My inspirations come from many places – from nature, spirituality, and photography to my Indian roots and global experiences. But most of all, they come from my own journey of resilience and self-discovery.

Some of my most loved works include Dreams Have No Boundaries, Cheers to Life, Finding the Buddha Within You, Womaniya – The Joys of Friendship, Still Waters, Third Eye, and Unbroken Bond.

Exhibitions & Community Work

Since beginning this journey, I’ve been fortunate to showcase my art at exhibitions such as the Indian Affordable Art Fair at the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre, the Consulate General of India (Hong Kong), Lamma Art Collective, Expo Metro, Watermark Community Church in Sai Ying Pun, and ISKCON Temple Hong Kong, among others.

Art has also given me a way to give back. I’ve conducted bottle art jamming workshops, contributed to mental wellbeing initiatives, and raised funds for NGOs such as Phenomenally Pink, The Zubin Foundation, and Dubai-based Spunk Go. I’ve collaborated with Hands on Hong Kong, joined the Australian Chamber of Commerce as a panelist to raise awareness about breast cancer, and supported causes like Afghanistan’s war widows and children.

For me, creativity transcends boundaries. It’s not just about painting—it’s about celebrating imagination in every aspect of life. During weekdays, I’m a corporate professional; during weekends, I’m an artist, painter, and above all, a mom and wife.

My husband and my two sons are my pillars of strength and inspiration, and they remind me every day that resilience and love can turn even the hardest challenges into beautiful new beginnings.

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes of my creative process — from blank canvas to vibrant masterpiece.

Lipi’s paintings inspire as they depict hope, positivity and tranquility. I really like that her art imbibes elements of different cultures- while her work stays true to her Indian roots, she also incorporates the best of her current place of abode. I love her depiction of women empowerment and her efforts to promote various noble causes and charities through her art work.

Got your painting Womaniya through the Zubin Foundation silent auction, and I absolutely love it. It’s such a beautiful piece, and the story behind it really spoke to me. I’ve been supporting a close friend through her cancer treatment, and your artwork captures so much of the strength, love, and resilience that comes with that kind of journey. It reminded me of how powerful friendship and being there for each other can be. Thank you for creating something so meaningful 💕🫶🏼

Lipi is an upcoming artist whose work is promising. Her art embodies feminism and spirituality and her hand painted bottles are a pure source of joy ! She is a wonderful human being who has risen from the challenges that have come in her way , to emerge blessed and victorious. I wish her every success in her future artwork !

When I look at the piece of Lipi, it feels like discovering a beautiful flower garden in the middle of a busy city. Even in the midst of a hectic day, placing a single flower in this vase brings me a moment of calm. It’s amazing how an ordinary glass bottle can be transformed into such a special work of art by the artist’s touch. Each bold brushstroke carries the artist’s heart and sincerity. Since it was created in Hong Kong, it also brings back fond memories of that vibrant city. Perhaps because it’s a one-of-a-kind piece, it feels even more special to me.

Lipi’s intricately painted bottles are a beautiful way to upcycle and to add colour and flair to any space. Lipi kindly gifted me a bottle when I visited her home. I have it on my study desk and usually place one fresh long stemmed flower in it whenever I get a bouquet or my garden finally delivers! Her nature and light flow through everything she does and this reflects in her bottles and other artistic works. It is a lovely reminder of her friendship and brings me happiness whenever I look at it
