Anjalee Malan (b.1989 London) is a British Indian figurative painter living in London. Raised by a Christian South Indian mother and a Jewish stepfather, alongside a Hindu father, she channels her diverse upbringing to create work that is an embodiment and celebration of multicultural London.

Anjalee primarily uses oil paint to paint scenes from her own life, tackling themes around family, relationships and dual identities. She is currently particularly interested in the concept of hodge-podge – the unavoidable mix of cultures, ethnicities, religions, beliefs and experiences by which we find ourselves engulfed and is investigating how she can mimic this through form.

After receiving her undergraduate in Classics from Edinburgh University, she worked in advertising agencies for 10 years. She is currently undertaking an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art.
