ART defines a magnitude of difference; creatures that break monotony, individuals that bring a revolution and create an aura of incandescent self expression.
Being a writer, poet and admirer of everything that relates to art and self expression, CHAPTERS was the best I had been a part of so far. Four artists from varied fields of profession coming together to bring about a rethinking, soul searching, rediscovering of oneself. I believe I am overdoing it but I have the freedom to..
I found a profound joy in watching each painting and photograph over and over again. I grew with colors, cried with a few and smiled with many of them. The emotions we live with are what we carry forward until we breathe our last. Individuality is an amalgamation of upbringing, beliefs, societal experiences, spiritual faiths and the heart that is either hurt or loved. Finally, we break free, we dream, we chalk our dreams, we walk them and that is when we have a complete paradigm shift!
Thank you Artists for the enriching experience..!
Amanda Ray- A photographer, a wife, a soft spoken lady with precise crisp conversations. Her photographs are from places she has been to, things she loves and definitely keeps close to her heart. She loves encouraging young artists who do not have a platform to showcase their work. She helps them represent.
Lasantha Karunaratne loved and called 'Lasa', a Sri Lankan painter. She paints canvases with intricate details woven through colors. I understood her love for paint, canvas and frames when I helped her string, hang and wrap them. I know they are her other world-her own infinite dreams!
Namrata Chattaraj- An ardent lover of music, she captures moods, emotions and variations of persona with her colors. I saw chords of my own life coming alive through her paintings. I so well related to them!
Siddharth Sengupta - A young man, growing up to the extraordinary capability of painting 'evolution'. He captures abstracts, and definitely gives meaning to them. A free mind, eloquent and a synonym to his own art.
May your journey be that of the Torch Bearer!
