Artist Statement
My art explores the enchanting realm of the Underwater World. This fascination with the ocean's depths began in my childhood and has become the cornerstone of my artistic expression. The vibrant colors and unique shapes of conch shells and pebbles captivated me, leading me to develop a distinct style centered around this theme. My passion for the underwater world was so profound that it guided my final project during my Diploma, where I excelled with distinction on a question paper dedicated to this subject.
As my career has evolved, so has my style and color palette, but the core subject of "Underwater World" remains a constant source of inspiration. The boundless nature of this theme reflects the complexities of our own experiences and emotions, which I strive to convey through my art.
Relocating to Konkan after marriage deepened my connection with the coastlines, further enriching my artistic vision. My work now incorporates a broader array of marine elements such as fish, corals, tortoises, and turtles, alongside conch shells. Capturing the sublime beauty of nature and translating it onto canvas is both a challenging and rewarding endeavor. Through persistent practice, I have honed my skills, leading to numerous opportunities to showcase my art in prestigious venues such as the Jehangir Art Gallery and the Nehru Centre Art Gallery. Additionally, I have participated in various art shows, earning awards and receiving recognition for my work.
I am committed to maintaining this deep, joyful relationship with art, hoping that it continues to be as captivating and beautiful as the Underwater World that inspires it.
