Sounds Of Day And Night 5 Painting

Swati is an Indian abstract expressionist artist based in Singapore. The endless possibilities of color, texture, shape, the orderliness in the seeming disorderliness of nature inspire Swati’s art, and find a voice in her work through the use of acrylic and mixed media on canvas and paper. Her art practice is exploratory and process driven. Her delicate yet strong compositions unfold in layers through the use of vivid colors and abstract forms and open up the infinite possibilities of connections via the explorations of natural surroundings and human emotions. She has been trained at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore. Artist Statement: I make abstract paintings that celebrate the subtleties and expressiveness of colors and marks, the symbolism of shape, the depth of layers and a sense of discovery. These paintings are inspired by my surroundings, by fleeting memories, and by unspoken words and wonderment. They are an expression of my musings where the process matters more than the end result. I work primarily with acrylic paint and other drawing mediums like pencils, charcoal, oil pastels and ink. I love exploring color and its materiality. Abstraction gives me the freedom to spontaneously express my thoughts on the canvas. The possibility of stumbling upon something unexpected as I work on a painting keeps bringing me back to my studio every single day. It brings a sense of joy and belonging. These paintings illustrate the conversations I have with myself, and I hope they speak to you too in some way.
