I have been interested in art since my childhood and had art as a subject during my academic carrier. It is an ideal medium of conveying emotions, feelings and communicating an artist’s inner expressions, imagination and creativeness. "I completed my post graduation in Drawing and Painting in 1986 from Meerut University and secured 3rd position in the university”. My marriage to an Air Force officer, gave me opportunities to travel around the country, understand it’s wonderful people, their rich and diverse cultures and colorful emotions. I painted and created whatever I saw and appealed to me.
Love for beautiful nature and life translates into simplified and modernistic language in paintings. “My subject matter is simple and I express my aesthetic belief in artistic creativity with striking impact.” I feel each part of a painting has its own psychological effect, which depends upon the perception of each individual. My paintings convey own language of paint and brush subtly, suggestive of my fleeting moods, which I express broadly by breaking the space of canvas.
Colours in art are used in form to denote moments and express objects and relations. They themselves constitute the elements of language, adequate to express emotion similar to musical sound acting on the soul. I give independent value to colours, tint, lines, space and forms. The use of pure and bright shades of colours and rhythmic and spiral lines reflect excitement, movement, grace and charm of life. Art itself is the expression of inner meaning of emotion but in a painting, colours represent harmonic relations between emotions and life.
My paintings are always rounded off with a tenderness of feelings and deep concern for subjects, which are mostly from life. My compositions figurative or non figurative, convey my feelings and expressions.
