There is a lot of influence of poetry, nature, yoga, music and food in Nirzara’s work. A keen observer, mostly observing through an illustrator’s glasses, positivity and enthusiasm usually strike her in day-to-day life. She tries to create pleasant worlds because, for her, creating art is creating happiness.

Lighting, in her illustrations, is mostly about the mood of the characters. Keen to put across emotions the characters are feeling, it mostly depends on the situations in the narrative. As very rarely, her themes are about sadness or regret; so mostly, her illustrations are well lit.

Illustrating simple, local ideas and colours in a way that they have a global appeal, Nirzara, loves to explore with forms, lines and patterns. She enjoys space division, and that appeals the most to her. She tries to use these elements to create different looking layouts and environments, paying a lot of attention to character movements and overall character drawings. She also uses very contemporary colour palettes, applying some bright Indian colours shades.
