THE DEPTH Painting

Seen as in Blouin Art info -Bahrain based artist Ella Prakash is best known for her inventive techniques and vibrant use of colors. She started her art career in 1984. With a lifelong fascination with painting, art has been a way for her to express her perceptions and her dreams. Her technique tells a story with a paintbrush or a palette knife, and her mediums are oil, watercolor, and acrylic. She focuses closely on the medium of painting, which seems almost like a liberation, opening up the potential to give the issues of form and background, space, areas, and lines a new level of concentrated dynamism. She changes the medium and the palette depending on a series of works; her current abstract series are "Embracing the Universe’ in oil on canvas and "Eternal Echoes" in watercolor on paper. She challenges herself to unlearn the pattern of control she seeks in representation, thus reinventing the language of anatomy, chiaroscuro, and storytelling. Her paintings are distinctive for their bold brush strokes; she expresses her work through a palette knife using vibrant colors; the end result is a direct and spontaneous gesture on canvases and paper, which gives these paintings their inescapable explosiveness. *******Artist statement ******* After 2013 life took a significant change, I became more observant of life and who i am.
