MOTH TO A FLAME Painting

EMBER ARTWORKS® by Sahaj Vanani "I capture all these elements belonging to different times, places and cultures in a work with the aim of expanding the range of possibilities of the viewer, to stimulate their imagination. I have come to the conclusion that imagination with a vision to create is everything, it is the vehicle that takes us to where we want to be, helps us create our reality and my art wants to be a way to expand the imagination of the observer, a tool to fly beyond the logical structures ". He continues: “I would like to involve the public and take it beyond what is apparent. It is normal to judge a neoclassical work as something 'noble', 'refined', 'elegant' and 'beautiful' and simple lines on a wall as something 'insignificant', 'indecent', 'vulgar' and 'ugly' ... I want to be the means to expand the perception of things. Through the confrontation-union of different times, places, cultures, languages, ways of seeing reality. “The multiplicity of readings, which combines simple shapes such as the two parallel lines, a hallmark of my paintings, symbols linked to Western culture and elements of art in a harmonious amalgam, forces us to rethink the values ​​linked to the reality in which we live. We are not only consumers of products, but also of images, icons and symbolizations that are part of our culture. My work is an invitation to see reality through the lens of modern classicism combined with simplicity and minimalism. To see from the peak of the skyline, not immersed in a specific context with limited parameters of analysis. I want to create a series of grand paintings exclusive to those who understand them and join this journey to bring back classical art combined with the styles of modern minimalism, to peer into the potential of accessing infinite possibilities.”
