Sun-kissed Radiance Painting

Drawing inspiration from the beautiful and vibrant hues of my hometown in India, my artwork is a reflection of the simple yet joyous moments of life. Using various media, I make medium to large sized semi-abstract paintings. Through bold textures, I aim to capture the sense of motion and fluidity in my artworks. I work with acrylic and oil, along with mark making using pigment sticks, charcoal or pastels. I often begin with first layer using the colour which allows me to connect with my emotion at that moment, building up layers using big flat brushstrokes and scrapes, to reveal an inseparable relationship between motion and sound of the surroundings. By creating synergy between colours, layers, lines and shapes, the paintings emerge from my perspective, establishing a link between the reality and my imagination as a conceiver.  I often depict families and children reveling by the water or individuals soaking up the sun on the beach. For me, water bodies represent an intrinsic calmness and tranquility that I aim to translate onto the canvas.
