"Chetana works in mixed media exploring the infinite nature of pure mystery, in the manifestation of form.Images barely appear from within the canvas. Sometimes organic and textural this work is an open dialogue themed to play with light and dark.The paintings emphasize the realization of pure potential, arising from the un-manifest origin ,of this fourth dimensional reality.The paintings lightly bring landscapes and figures into emergence through the veils. Chetana's work is life affirmative both therapeutic and energetic, radiant and moving ,in the way it entices us to enter other worlds, inner worlds, invoking the same devotional, whirling, longing as the mystic poets; Rumi and Hafiz, whom part inspire her celabrational and prolific work"- Maryannne Lovengreen(.Curator Kunst gallery).
