The artist’s point of view
“My immense interest in art world has enabled me to live every moment as a journey of a painter so far, though I have been a graphic designer as well. My pictorial space narrates tales of life around me. Even a cow comes to my painting as a form of fantasy which has a blending with reality. My subjects are based on cows, birds and forms which have an influence of Indian miniature painting.”
“I use bright and vibrant colors, particularly red and green on the stylized forms and space. My paintings are mostly in acrylic on canvas. My paintings have origin from computer softwares. But my process of executing paintings is completely manual, with required pictorial pigments. My area of interest is also designing mural and art with found objects.”
Her collection of works will be a body of paintings done in acrylic on canvas with refreshing and vibrant colours.
