"The Patrika Gate" Painting

Hi! I'm Aradhana Tiwary. I was been born with a gift for the arts since I could remember. My earliest memory of being associated with art was when I fingerpainted a dancing lady when I was seven years old. While I have a very practical and an analytical side (I'm a lawyer and a corporate governance professional by education), my creative side has been where my calling and soul hangs their hats.

I do not have a formal education per se, but I have experimented and learned my way around:

:Canvas and papyrus paintings with oil, acrylic and water based pigments
: Wood block paintings
: Sketches and calligraphy with ball point pens, pencil as well as with charcoal.
: Basket weaving
: Custom dioramas
: Amateur sculpting with chalk and clay
: Commissioned artwork

I think it's probably easier to say that if there's anything under the sun, I would either do it or be game to take up a challenge! I have a prodigious output and my creativity overflows in whatever I do! I am quite flexible as well- my works range from abstract, landscapes, realistic life-like works to moody and surreal pieces that are thought provoking and intriguing.

When I'm not creating fine works of art, you would find me traveling either the length and breadth of the country or exploring the nooks and crannies of the city I would be in at the moment.
