Kanodia is known for her use of bright colours, polished surfaces, and intricate details, often depicting everyday life with a "utopian appearance". Her work is described as whimsical and energetic, aiming to capture a snapshot of life at maximum preposterousness. The painting captures a moment of social interaction, possibly a commentary on social customs and relationships, which is a recurring theme in Kanodia's work.
The artist often depicts the dichotomy of change in society, with people clinging to roots on one hand and embracing modernity on the other. Kanodia's paintings are described as originating from an 'unalloyed pleasure' and are noted for their 'shrewd tongue-in-cheek observation of individual psychology and the customs andmanners of groups.'
Nayanaa Kanodia stands as a pioneer of the L'Art Naif or Naive art genre in India, a trailblazer whose work has transcended borders. With a legacy marked by innumerable exhibitions both in India and abroad, her paintings have found homes in the collections of esteemed art connoisseurs and corporate houses across the globe. The Musee International D'Art Naif in Paris proudly showcases her creations, offering them a permanent space in the heart of the art world.
