"Intent" Painting

I’m Pragati, an artist based in India. I’m a Product Manager at Big Tech by day, and an artist on weekends and at nights.
Like most of us, my first tryst with art was as a toddler, when I used crayons on the walls of my living room. However, years later, in a new city for a new job, in an effort to find a medium to fully express myself, I took to art again. After a long day at work, I used to spend hours late at night to paint my heart out.
In art, I stumbled upon my safe space - one that truly flows with my energy and lets me unleash every streak of what I feel. Art helps me to be self aware, be in touch with my true self, express emotions and refocus.
I paint what strikes a strong emotional chord in me. Emotion is formless and deep, so is my art. It’s a feeling that takes shape with fluid, abstract art; the rich textures of impasto an d at times it finds a outlet in mirrors & pieces of stones.
In my work, through abstract storytelling, each artwork transposes itself on the viewer, making them feel the characteristic energy and find a piece of it within themselves, making it difficult to forget.
