When art has healing qualities

These visual treats are healing and transplanting auspicious energies. Connecting through the energy field she has put her Auric Visions to paper through the medium of inks and gives us visions of unseen frontiers.  These beautiful and awe-inspiring visuals are unique, intricate and graphic in nature. The exhibition is curated by Divvya Nirula, Director, Art From Us.

Art From Us is a platform to present affordable contemporary art to a global audience. Divvya Nirula applied her knowledge base in the Psychology and Sociology of Contemporary and Modern Art to deconstruct and present artworks for a global audience across socio-economic, cultural and national boundaries.

Playing the part of Alice in a Bharatnatyam adaptation of Alice through the looking glass is a treasured experience for her. It was a first hand viewing of how very little is lost in translation when ideas are presented through a creative medium. What intrigued her most at the age of eleven was how the audience was the missing piece of the equation.

Her exploration of the art world was facilitated by her family in a most unique way. Hotels and restaurants were what her family did, but it was the arts that kept them alive.

At an impressionable and early age she found herself in the company of creative individuals such as Ajeet Caur, Arpana Caur, Amroz, the late Amrita Pritam and the late Sheela Dhar to name a few. It was these visionaries that helped her push her boundaries of self.

Amroz once told her that the audience takes ownership of the work of art through their projected emotions. The battle between the artist and her audience was once again calling out to be addressed in her mind. The artist places her/himself behind a camera/in a sculptural form or pours her/himself on canvas.

As the artist addresses the audience through manipulation of form, colour, texture and sound, she finds herself between the artist and the audience, trying to gather and explore what exactly is lost, changed, transformed and sometimes added- in translation.
