Monalisa Kalagram was founded in 2016 by the mother daughter duo, Mona and Lisa Pingale. Nestled in the verdant Koregaon Park, in Pune, Monalisa Kalagram is not just a gallery; it is a dynamic cultural space that transcends conventional boundaries. We have been a catalyst for artistic dialogue and discovery through a series of thoughtfully curated art exhibitions that showcase the work of leading contemporary artists. These exhibitions serve as a dynamic platform, spotlighting the cutting-edge and diverse perspectives of today’s artistic visionaries. We host a diverse range of events, including art exhibitions, musical performances, theatrical productions, film screenings, book readings, and poetry sessions. This eclectic mix ensures that there is always something for every cultural enthusiast. At Monalisa Kalagram, we proudly embrace the spectrum of artistic expressions, promoting both contemporary and traditional forms of art and craft. Our dedication extends beyond mere representation; we actively champion artists, artisans, and organic creativity. By providing a platform that nurtures talent, we contribute to the rich tapestry of Pune’s cultural landscape. This is a space that is designed to celebrate the beauty of artistic diversity and the spirit of community.

Monalisa Kalagram, founded by Lisa Pingale, stands as a testament to her diverse talents and deep-rooted connection to her roots. The gallery, named after Lisa and her mother Mona Pingale, reflects a profound source of inspiration in their bond. Lisa’s multifaceted artistic abilities and keen interest in art and culture shine through the space she has created. The gallery not only reflects Lisa’s artistic interests but also celebrates the influence of her mother, Mona, who has been a constant guiding force in her life. Through Monalisa Kalagram, Lisa has woven together her passion for art, culture, and traditional craft, creating a harmonious space that coexists seamlessly with the intricate beauty of creativity. Despite her strong ties to the art world, Lisa remains a farmer at heart. Nestled in the serene landscapes of Mahabaleshwar, Lisa finds solace and happiness in cultivating the land and, in particular, growing strawberries. This connection to the soil not only defines her identity but also serves as a constant reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world that inspires so much of her artistic expression.
