Swarna Durga

  Mixed Media on canvas

The Process of Painting originates from a sub- conscious state of mind, where the images stored in the psyche start taking shape into a form that is gradually built up with the help of lines, textures, design, Line and color into a Work of art’. The subject matter of my paintings is either nostalgic or from imagination based on dreams, fantasies and beautiful experiences of life. I enjoy creating beautiful compositions that transport the viewers into my world, with grace full female figures amongst their natural environment, color fully dressed in traditional attire, leisurely engaged in day-to-day activities .Apart from this, most of the time there is a lone female figure in solitude, having a dialogue with nature, while a bird perched on a nearby branch watches silently . The thought of applying myself to serious aspects of human existence occurred to me, but my attempts to portray them turned futile. Having realized my inability to find inspiration from the harder side of lite, I reverted to my forte of painting "The Women' resplendent in all her glory, as a tribute to the female form.
