Asma is a printmaker, sculptor, educationalist, and writer. She has been in mainstream art for the past three and a half decades. Menon's art is easy to mistake as simple illustration or playful, faux naive painting. In fact, her work is the culmination of years of research into the world of mythology, religion and mystical
storytelling. Her art is animated, colourful and magical though also deeply meaningful and sympathetic to those elements of pictorial story telling that we as
humans have enjoyed for all eternity. In recent years, her focus has shifted to sculpture for public spaces. Menon moves freely between fables, myths, personal stories and allegories in her paintings, constantly connecting, mixing and overlapping her brew on the canvas.
