ABOUT SELLER

Making art, for me, is a balancing act between the intuitive and the considered. What captures my interest is the energy or feel of the subject that I am painting. Colour is vital in re-creating the emotional tone. I choose colour, layers, shapes and texture to express my feelings and my dreams which are influenced by real life experiences. The layers create subtle and sometimes dramatic effect. My work emotes spontaneous expressions which may not always be close to reality, but emotes 'ehsaas' or feelings. I want the viewer to be fed at different levels and depths of their being.

Since my childhood, colours have fascinated me and I remember my dreams in detail in vivid colours and patterns. Art has always been a passion of mine. I knew from a very early age that art was going to be a strong influence to my persona. My mother was an ardent artist and as a child I loved to watch her paint. She encouraged me at all times and she has proved to be a the guiding force, moving me in the direction where I find peace , contentment and immense joy, in expression through my paintings.
