This Gallery In Goa Has The Most Stunning Artwork & Clothes In One Space

Imagine going on a vacation to Goa and finding something that you can take back to reflect on your time there, or simply because it gave you the perfect Goan feel. That's exactly what Whalesong Gallery offers. Located in a charming sun-washed village of Parra, Goa, it's more of a curated experience that captures the essence of Goa than just a regular gallery. The exterior is of a quaint cottage that's turned into a design space that celebrates Goa's goodness, heritage and rich history. But there's more to it than just the Goa effect.

Born during the pandemic, Whalesong Gallery was co-founded by Sonal Chowdhary, Shikha Bagaria, and Srimoyi Bhattacharya. Sonal is the lead curator here with over two decades of experience in interior styling, costume design, and production design. Her idea behind the gallery was to create a destination that's meant for 'slow shoppers.' If you're an aesthete, design seeker, or luxury/ holiday home owner, you'll love what they have to offer. They have a wide range of products, especially curated for people and homes that want to focus on the 'slow-living' ethos.

Now that we've established the context behind the gallery and its audience, let's talk products. Expect to find everything artsy, aesthetic and one-of-a-kind. They have a curated collection of original artworks, furniture, photographs, limited edition prints, home decor inspired by Goan heritage, and home collectables, including tableware. The best part? They also have clothing designs that feel and look like art. Basically, everything under the sun that you can either take back home as a souvenir or use to help your home achieve that boho, coastal, and laid-back look. Everything is curated with intention and doesn't feel mass-produced, rushed, or loud. Instead, the collection embodies a gentle minimalism and a slow-living sensibility that mirrors Goa in the most authentic way. And that's a philosophy that's at the heart of Whalesong Gallery: it's built for people who don't just want to buy an object but take home a feeling or emotion.

While all products at the gallery are noteworthy, their frames, in particular, have gained a lot of traction online. The custom framing by Whalesong Gallery is what sets them apart from their competitors. Led by their creative force, Sonal, these frames often become the highlight more than the print or painting that you're collecting. The gallery treats frames not just as accessories, but as extensions of the artwork and a part of the storytelling. All frames are handcrafted by local artisans using Teak wood or Oak wood and take anywhere between one week and three months to complete. Each frame is created thoughtfully, and no two frames are alike.
