Artist Profile: Exploring Light and Darkness As an artist, I navigate the intricate dance between light and darkness, weaving emotions and symbolism into my canvas and photography. My work is a testament to the human experience, capturing the raw essence of existence. Mediums and Inspirations: Oils and Acrylics: These versatile mediums allow me to explore depth, texture, and emotion. With each brushstroke, I delve into the interplay of light and shadow. Photography: Through my lens, I freeze moments—fragments of reality that reveal hidden narratives. Photography, like painting, is a dance between light and darkness. Influences: Graffiti Artists: Jean-Michel Basquiat’s rebellious spirit infuses my work. His raw energy and unapologetic expression inspire me. Henry Moore’s sculptural forms also resonate—they evoke both strength and vulnerability. Photography Geniuses: Ansel Adams: His mastery of black and white landscapes taught me to find beauty in simplicity. Henri Cartier-Bresson: His “decisive moment” philosophy reminds me that life unfolds in fleeting instants. The Struggle Within: My canvas and lens have been my refuge. They’ve witnessed my battles: Postpartum Depression: Isolation, exhaustion—the aftermath of childbirth. Art became my lifeline, pulling me from the abyss. Societal Pressures: The relentless pigeonholing—mother, lover, child. But I am more—an intricate web of emotions, desires, and dreams. Cultural Tapestry: Mauritius Immigrants: My roots trace back to this vibrant island. Prejudice and race shaped my perspective. I saw skin beaten by hatred, heard voices silenced by norms. Asian Female: A world of choices, yet constraints. Education isn’t freedom; it’s the power to break chains. I defy expectations: daughter, wife, mother—yes, but also a canvas of complexities. Abstract Expressions: My paintings rage with anger, whisper self-discovery, and pulse with life. They are: Being: The struggle to exist authentically. Color: Vibrant and muted hues, mirroring our emotional spectrum. Black Beasty Beauty: Darkness isn’t void; it’s fertile ground for growth. Light and Dark: My art mirrors existence—the chiaroscuro of our souls. I juxtapose light against shadows, creating a symphony of contrasts. In each stroke, I find solace, rebellion, and truth. Conclusion: My canvas is my sanctuary, where light pierces through darkness and where I invite viewers to explore their own depths.
