Right
from the birth till being mature to give birth to a new life, I am
blessed to experience every emotional feeling as a woman. At the very
tender age itself, I realized that the Lord who created this Universe
has scattered upon this earth diverse hues and forms and varied
patterns, but maintained similarity in spirit of emotions that flow
through these creations. This is the only reason why we are able to
simply colligate equally with the living and non-living objects of this
earth. Sensing this minor yet mysterious knowledge has swayed me away
into a very different thrilling and spirited world, the world, where
everything is spiritual and very dear. It has a spell of magic from
which I am not able to come out, or it would be apt to say that I
willingly deny coming out. With times, this affection has compelled me
to develop a very different kind of world by giving forms and coloring
these emotions. At the age of thirteen I
was thrilled by my very own, first creation of this aura. It guided me
to vent my creativity in an influential manner. I loved to work in Print
etching style and the period from 1993-1998 is most cherished period
for me. This is the period when all the dimensions that were necessary
for my creativity, were unveiling before me and I happily ventured
towards my creative world.
In
1999, I acquired lot of success in the field of Art, but for me the most
valued thing was appreciation by S. H .Raza who praised my work and
said, “You age is too small for the kind of artwork that you have
created, it is a rare entity to find such thought in the youth of your
age. Your creative world is bright so let it flow continuously.” These
precious few words of appreciation made me realize that the surge of
feelings in my creations is capable of binding the attention of
beholders. Thus, I was ready to bind the world into the magical spell
of my creative world.
It was quiet a different experience of migrating from city of Bhopal,
the city with abundant nature and working in the city like Delhi where
human feelings were restricted and superficial. The feelings seemed
nothing to do with tender and rich emotional attachments. It was like, -
The more superficial, the better. Therefore it can be summed up that,
the nature of city has more or less ability to alter the attitudes. And
that is the reason why I was not able to live in that city for more than
five years and I shifted to Mumbai, to know the nature of one more
city! Mumbai is such a city where people of varied natures live and
there are different shades of life, the spirit to live happily in any
prevailing condition, the zealous attitude of moving on by ignoring
hurdles and moving without halts and winning over failures, make its
personality more impressive.
Even
after the calamities, people who value life, care for feelings and do
not let emotions perish and nor make them superficial. I am constantly
studying this city since 7 years and a lot can be created here. The
knowledge and education in painting as well as the medium of Print that I
studied at Bharat Bhavan, Bhopal prompted me to work in this medium in
naturally abundant city like Bhopal and later on moved to the city like
Delhi and finally came to Mumbai. Here I could experience a unique facet
of life where there is a hidden beauty in the natural destructive
forces and realized that it strengthens the purity of feelings and
expressions. This is the only reason why my artworks created here are
either destructive visuals or calm and serene. You can effortlessly hear
and feel the spoken or silently expressed feelings. Even after the
numerous blasts of emotions and tornados, a corner of your heart remains
tranquil
Destruction
heightens emotions and this happens innocently which is also a call of a
new life. It is a special feeling for me to endow a character to the
feelings of this city in my creations; it is as if, I am creating my own
form. This cycle of tapping and knowing my soul calms me down
