Great brains Print

I, Soghra Khurasani, completed my Master's Degree (MVA) in Printmaking at the Department of Graphics, Faculty of Fine Arts, Maharaja Sayajirao University, Baroda. I did my Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Painting from Andhra University, Visakhapatnam. Coming to Baroda has changed my perception about art, here as a student I not only work in traditional means like woodcut prints and etchings, I also work in mediums like serigraph and digital print, which I would like to explore further to present my works. Since my works are huge I use landscapes and topography along with compositions. Concepts and ideas are very important forces which drive me to work and skills, techniques, mediums and forms etc become a means to put forth my concept. These ideas arrive from the suppression and oppression which all of us face in our day to day life because of authorities and institutions which claim to own us. I vent out my inner desires through my work. Through my work, I try to recite the current universal social issues which also deal with human rights, in visual form. Many times wrap my issues in symbolic forms which easily get decoded in the minds of the viewer. My works mirror the menus of inter cultural violence and social injustice which each one of us becomes victim of.
