Showcasing women centric artworks

In order to lay emphasis on women-centric issues and to bring into notice various challenges faced by different genders, ‘Quest to seek Inner self’- an exhibition by abstract figurative artist Ella Prakash will be held in the national Capital from February 7-11.

The exhibition will display 30 selected pieces of her work in acrylic, broadly defined by ethereal figures, geometric lines and shapes that carry a cerebral tone, personal to the artist.

The show is curated by Samir Ceric, founder of Debut Contemporary London.

The painting series start with ‘In Search of my Soul’ and slowly progress through various paintings, expressing each emotion that is vital in reaching the final stage ‘Found my Soul’. 

The works display a blend of warm and bold colors precisely contained in calculated strokes that offer a sense of illusory realism. 

The anatomies of the abstract figures juxtaposed with geometric shapes are Ella’s signature allegories for the vibrant, ever changing self. 

“My art is a symbol of growth and perfection and this journey is an exploration of a woman’s sense of self and healing”, said Ella. Ella is also the ambassador for ‘Arts for India’ and founder of Ella Art Gallery in Bahrain. 

Her paintings were auctioned for the charities in London and in Bahrain. She strongly believes in charity and helps others to achieve their goals and dreams. She recently had two Solo Art exhibitions in London and was well received. Her work has also been exhibited and appreciated in the leading art galleries in USA and Europe and is in the permanent collection of Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art, Las Vegas.

Ella Prakash, an Indian artist born and brought up in Bahrain, aspires to create a contemplative journey for the viewer. Ella’s strong support of liberal feminism can be traced back from her initial works.

From the beginning, she understood that different genders go through various stages to learn and connect with a beautiful blend of various emotions that help in discovering the inner self. 

Speaking about the show, Ella shared, “The paintings are the results of my personal journey and I have tried to put it in my work to give the viewers a greater understanding of how women pass through different stages in life in order to complete the Quest for Inner Self.”
