and thereby, she has reached many milestones in her career.
The present exhibition reveals her intense urge from within to create artwork that will exemplify subtle nuances of the panoramic beauty of Nature and its eternal as well as Omnipresent Grandeur in various seasons throughout the year in an expressive and lucid style. Her works reveal a reflection of the artist’s evolving vision, sensitivity and a lived experience. Her various works showing the wonders and miracles of Nature in different regions along with the panoramic beauty thereof showcase not a mere transformation of visual form but, in fact, reveal a spiritual journey from the external to the internal / the outer to the inner or from the visible towards the invisible. For her, Nature is an experience of consciousness which quietly pulsates behind its visual forms. Hence her works present profound depth of experience in an exhilarating and lucid visual language of expressions and in this process, the visible gradually becomes a doorway to the invisible.
She has also presented still life works of flowers arranged in pots where nature becomes gathered and composed within a limited and contained space as compared to that in an expansive landscape. Many forms and directions of Nature therefore, seem to coverage into a single harmonious presence thereby, evoking a sense of unity in diversity and completeness within limitation. Thus, the external world of nature ultimately transforms into an experience of inner serene completeness. The vivid works presented in the exhibition being eloquent and lucid as well as expressive and pleasant have a dialogue with the viewers owing to their simplicity and leave an indelible visual impact on their sensitive mind thereby leading to their appreciative response and accolades.
