About Swapna Augustine

Swapna Augustine is a remarkable artist from Paingottoor, Ernakulam, Kerala, born on January 21, 1975, without arms. Despite this, she developed the ability to paint using her feet, a skill she began cultivating during her childhood.

Under the guidance of supportive mentors, she honed her artistic abilities, focusing on intricate depictions of nature, religious figures, and cultural motifs.

Swapna has been a member of the Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA) since 1999, an international organization that supports artists who paint using their mouths or feet due to disabilities. Through this association, she has participated in numerous exhibitions both in India and abroad, including in Singapore, Qatar, Dubai, and Turkey.
