Rukshana Hooda

Name :Rukshana Hooda ~ Semi Abstract Artist.
I make you feel nature’s soul. My artworks bring the enchantment of nature into your home or workplace.
Almost every artwork will have some element of nature, to bring you closer to Mother Earth.
Myself & Art ~ I love to create and am inspired by my surroundings, nature, sky, chirping birds, changing seasons, and most of all my travels. But then, I never felt I would be a Professional Artist in school.
Since my first attempts, ​I realized how important painting was to me: it filled my afternoons, and after classes, and I could create my universe with just a glass of water and a brush.​
​That's the natural way I always tried to ​​approach my artwork.​
The result is a relentless search for an expressive method, experimenting with different art techniques and accurately selecting materials that allow my work to be unique, fine, and long-lasting.​
My favorite genre is always 'Villages of India' in acrylics, charcoals, and textures. I have captivated the daily life, enjoyments, celebrations, and daily chores of villagers and artisans of India.
Viewing various textures in nature inspired me to create a new range of textured Abstracts.
