Conceptual Paintings

ARTIST STATEMENT

I am a pure contemporary artist. Initially, my work was inspired by the social aspect where I pursued master’s degree. The social behaviors, the cultural aspects which were free from todays on the go cultural pattern, made me exhibit them on papers. As I moved to the pure urban habitats, I found the socio-cultural values at stake as I found people and their generation full of anxiety, depression and fast life culture. My peculiar observation about the society was the increasing concept of “Single Child Culture" trend. Due to lack of time, people are not at all wiling to have 2 children. Also, parenting the multi-behavioral children is an issue for today’s depressed society and hence the single-child-culture is flourishing. So I started a series of my art works to express the issue and attract the attention of society towards Double Children Culture. This culture was clearly magnified in my thoughts right from where it originates - the womb. Medium of my art is water color and pen ink on paper. Initially my journey to this was focused on fetus inside a single woman's womb but later the span automatically covered fetus from wombs of different women representing different moods just like we have different colors. An artwork gets true manifestation when we play harmoniously with different colors; in the same way the society should be able to parent 2 children of different moods as well. The need of today's society is to think on Two Children Culture. All my artworks show two fetuses in different wombs with different moods and aspects. Colors and ink here proves to be the most effective way to express my thoughts. Being a woman, I feel the fetus right at their initiations and I can imagine the togetherness of them hence I draw them two in a womb.

Gradually, the thoughts spread to the biggest womb of mother: Nature. I got inspired with nature, the emotions involved in different aspects if nature as what are those aspects which are surrounding me. I started to paint them this time with pen ink on different textured papers.
