== Early life ==<br />

<br />
She uses [[gouache]] and dry [[pastels]] on paper and wood, and works in sequences which follow a narrative, linear in the way it reads but elastic in the way that it enables the user to comprehend and examine the artwork.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url=http://www.saffronart.com/artists/gargi-raina|title=Gargi Raina|website=Saffronart|access-date=2017-09-16}}</ref><br />
<br />
She says, "''I've been working with the idea of stretching time. It's like seeing something in slow motion or looking at one thing and stretching that time, being able to go backwards and forwards and doing it at a very, very slow pace. I think that has been very crucial to a lot of the work that I have been doing recently''."<ref name=":2" /><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mojarto.com/artists/gargi-raina-27392|title=Gargi Raina – Famous Indian Artist, Gargi Raina Paintings {{!}} Mojarto|website=mojarto.com|access-date=2017-09-16}}</ref><br />
