I'm Mala Ramcharan 

Welcome to my Art journey

Art of the Barcode & QR-Code 

Discover how I make lines speak louder than words!

 

After my study and experiments with various techniques and disciplines, I was ready to shape my own signature & uniquestyle. Around 1995, I came across the barcode. I became fascinated by its abstraction and the hidden information within its coding. It was the seemingly simple vertical lines concealed an unexpected complexity that instantly captivated me.

My work explores groundbreaking and contemporary developments in topics such as science, AI, inclusion, and emerging trends, expressed through a barcode-style visual language.

 A reflexion of the world we live in today!
