"Romantic Rendevous" Painting

To begin with I am a Portuguese Indian, currently living and working in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I was lucky to be born into a family of natural artists, hence I stand to be a self-taught Artist. From an early age at 4 yrs, I showed keen interest in drawing and painting. I draw inspiration from my natural surroundings, pictures of beautiful places objects, cultures and fashions. I earned my first prize at the age of five, at a Christmas Exhibition, depicting the Nativity of Christ. Credits to my Parents,brothers and sisters who always supported and encouraged to bring out the best in me, (am from a family of 7 siblings including myself), they are my inspiration and motivation till date. Ever since I kept my passion alive, never looking back, earning myself recognition and fame. At school and college I enthusiastically participated in all extra-curricular activities, buzzing with energy in sports events like relays, Volley Ball, High Jump, my favorite Torch Drill, Dramas like Shakesphere's Play presented in Public Auditoriums, Dancing – Indian and Western alike and to top it all my favorite passion, painting (oil, acrylic,water color, crayons, pastel chalks ) and sketching (artworks were of/on different styles, mediums), winning prizes at every level. I also make a lot of decorative crafts from indigenous materials, indirectly recycling stuff. Had the privilege to paint Christmas and New Year Greeting cards ( 100 nos.) for a French School for orphans in India as a voluntary contribution. I enjoy every moment of my life owing it to my peaceful artistic nature, always happy and content, breathing in beauty all around me. I love everything beautiful, an artistic home and a stylish lifestyle and a happy me. I am a Romantic at heart. Possess interesting hobbies that I still am passionate about, dancing, listening to music (love country numbers and instrumentals like Mozart, Beethoven or any soft flowing music), Gardening, Interior Decoration (done projects for family and friends for their homes), Fashion Designing, cooking (lovely Indian, Chinese and Italian dishes for my family and friends) and of course my all time favorite, painting – all styles, all mediums. Have been painting on paper, cloth, canvas, hard boards and greeting cards, few pieces at a time to sell within family and friends. Registered with a few online art galleries too. Currently focused on displaying my talents on , a priority platform for me to sell my artworks.
