A<\/span><\/strong>bout the artist who created \"Holy Cow! \u2013 The Exhibit\" \u00a9<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Born in Montreal, raised in Buenos Aires, and living between Ottawa and Argentina, Radha (Kim) Hendi is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores migration, ancestry, and states of being that exist between worlds. With heritage spanning Syrian, Turkish, Danish, British, and Argentine lineages, her work often reflects a life lived through many cultures, landscapes, and cosmologies.<\/p>\n

Working in acrylics, block printing, sculpture, ceramics, and mixed media, Radha (Kim) blends playful aesthetics with contemplative depth. Radha trained in design and fashion at the Escuela de Dise\u00f1o Delego y Lagarrigue (Donato Delego) of Buenos Aires, Argentina; in drawing at Dawson College in Montreal, Quebec; in color and acrylics with Ottawa\u2019s Bhat Boy, multimedia art expressions at Art in Gibberish\u00ae with artist Ana Karyn Garcia (now Berdhanya Swami Tierra ), and trained in clay work at Loam Clay Studio of Ottawa and Taller de Ceramica y Mosaico of Argentina.<\/p>\n

Her art is infused with the meditative and philosophical perspectives she studies, including prana-ontology and breath-based practices taught by Berdhanya Swami Tierra. Her paintings invite viewers into gentle worlds where identity, imagination, and spiritual humor coexist.<\/p>\n

She is the founder and CEO of disruptive art \u00ae coaching, an innovative experiential technique than combines mindfulness, art and science to promote creativity, innovation, balance, and well-being (www.disruptiveart.ca). Kim holds a Doctorate in Political Science, a master\u2019s in international Affairs, a bachelor\u2019s in business administration, a Diploma in International Trade, a Certificate in life and sports coaching. Radha was formally a international development and senior partnership officer for the Government of Canada, advising in areas of digital technology, connectivity and intellectual property.<\/p>\n

In addition to her academic and artistic activities, Radha co-owned and curated at the artfifteen gallery\u00ae of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, coached Latin American governments in change management, and is faculty of the University Ortega Maranon of Madrid for the diploma in Management of Change for the Public Sector.<\/p>\n

Radha (Kim) was born in Montreal, Quebec and lived great part of her life in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She currently splits her time between Ottawa, Canada and Buenos Aires, Argentina.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Artist's Statement<\/h1><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

I paint at the intersection of memory, metaphysics, and migration. With roots spanning from Syrian traditions to Danish-British ones, my work emerges from a multicultural lens\u2014one shaped by movement between languages, cities, and belief systems. Born in Montreal and raised in Buenos Aires, I carry within me layers of hybrid identity that shape how I see and what I create.<\/p>\n

Through acrylic on canvas, I build portals\u2014sometimes literal, often symbolic\u2014that offer the viewer glimpses into interior and ancestral landscapes. Color, especially quinacridone hues, acts as a spiritual material, conveying vibration as much as visual form.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m drawn to painting as a form of inquiry. Influenced by thinkers like Leadbeater and Campbell, I\u2019m interested in how the visible world can hint at something deeper: the sacred within the everyday, the eternal within the fleeting. My goal is to hold space\u2014for complexity, for resonance, for stillness\u2014and to invite others to look through and beyond.<\/p>\n

About the Holy Cow! Project<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Her ongoing project Holy Cow! \u2013 The Exhibit \u00a9 reimagines the Holando-Argentina cow as a shape-shifting guide \u2014 part animal, part cloud, part mythic being, shifting between dimension. Through vibrant color, symbolic markings, mandala elements, and serene yoga-inspired poses, the cow becomes a bridge between sky and earth, the visible and the invisible, humor and reverence. Radha explores how humor and contemplation can coexist in art. Her cloud-cows inhabit multiple dimensions, mirroring her own lived experience of moving between continents and ways of being. They are not just animals: they are metaphors for belonging, migration, tenderness, and the creative soul that lives in many places at once.<\/p>\n
