The word from the artist: "I have been keenly interested and involved with my artistic side ever since a young age though I took up art as a career in 2020. I have a masters in Arts but not in fine arts. Till 2019 my focus and work background has been in economics and Finance. I was always creating and enjoying art as a hobby all through my work career. Art has always been something which has attracted me, the beautiful forms and colors whether it is landscapes, florals, just black and white. Its immense capability to transport the artist into a beautiful place through various colors and compositions is what motivates me to create. Another objective in all my paintings is to brighten up, bring happiness and admiration to whoever views it. Growing up in India and having been exposed to different, varied art forms from different states has also been a motivation to adopt those styles of painting and bring some innovation to them.
In my artistic journey I did not want to restrict myself in the use of various mediums. Though I gravitate towards watercolors I love to express myself in acrylics, oils, and charcoal. Another of my passions is just black and white sketches and the graphic precision which can be achieved with pencil and pen interests me a lot as well.
I have loved to create florals, landscapes, birds inspired by my own photographs taken from my garden or various garden shows, and travel to different places. Have also created ethnic art originating in India in the various tribal groups. To me these are beautiful forms of expression of various themes from mother nature. These are very intricately done and are very graphically oriented. I have been studying , researching and meeting various artists in all my travels to India as well as to other countries.
I feel art is such an inherent form of human expression, what words sometimes fail to say or bring the point across to its audience a piece of art can say volumes silently. As an artist it is incredibly fulfilling to be able to bring my minds vision to life as a physical object."
In appreciation of Art,
Deepti Saraswat
