The drawings are a blend of emotions, thoughts and moods all depicted colorfully on the canvas. The artist is highly inspired by Salvador Dali's work. Women in Harsh's paintings are usually expressive, real and unreal at the same time. She is a romantic by nature, and as she says, she tries to create new type of women. Her maiden's may seem to some as ghostly figures from folk-tales of the middle ages, or like hearthen Goddesses. But to her these ethereal beings represent souls surrounded by the philosophical questions of the "The Ultimate Truth" and "Search for Love".
