Soulful Expressions….
As an artist my best work comes from the deepest place inside of me which fulfils the need to create. Painting thus becomes an inward journey for outward expressions. I have always considered painting as a discrete language, not of words but of perception, feelings and beliefs. My paintings are impressions of the internal aspects of my life. These images of internal struggles of life. In essence, I am finding myself. Living in an artistic family, I was exposed to art conversations every day. However, it is only until few years ago that I developed the courage to express my thoughts, dreams, memories and aspirations through art_ Art has the power to heal and transform. When I discovered just that, I knew I had to dedicate my life to making others feel “something” when in the presence of my art.
I like to work with the abstract language of lines and colors because the compositions continuously evolve and acquire new meaning as time passes and the perspective of the viewer changes. My inspiration comes from the colors and forms found in nature. I employ a variety of self-discovered techniques to create abstract paintings that mimic things we see in nature like stone, petrified wood, flowing rain water, My work is alive with emotion through the movement of the brushwork and the luscious layered colors. Much like memories, each painting is filled with layer upon layer of paint, building a rich history into each piece.
Being a self taught artist, I devote a lot of time on observing, perfecting my skill with practice and continuous learning. I create through intuitive responses while engaged with the work. The process is completely organic and spontaneous. However, irrespective to what I feel at the time of painting, my constant pursuit is that the viewer experiences sheer delight in the presence of my works.
Sometimes, a rainbow of colors emerges from the onyx, whereas at times, an epoch passes by in the golden light and every time, hope wins over despair, I am aspired to start all over again. Where words and ideas end, my creative process begins, my internal landscape comes forward; I work intuitively, drawing from this vast. Boundless space from inside as well as outside. – Shraddha Purnaye
