“Innovative designers in Bangalore – There are limitless possibilities to design innovations. And Bangalore’s creative lot of designers find inspiration in myriad things like traditions and beliefs to textiles, trees and discarded materials. MetroMela profiles four designers across Bangalore who believe in doing stuff that’s different from run of the mill….  ”

The Sattva Art House is a really wonderful and calm place. It’s housed in a 100 year old bunglow in Whitefield, Bangalore. It is filled with children learning to paint and express their inner creativity. This show is hopefully the start of a long and artistically satisfying journey for me. I am looking forward to conducting workshops at their center over the next few months. Will keep you all posted as and when that happens.
Till then, I leave you with a few images from Sattva this morning.

If you in Whitefield, Bangalore…then come on over.

I have been busy with a lot of stuff over the last month. But, I did find some time to paint. These new pieces have been added under the ‘Kitsch’ section. There are also three new paintings added to the ‘Watercolour’ section. And I finally updated the ‘Furniture’ section.

 Yes! I have been busy.

I also thought I would leave you with a few images of the plants I have around the house.

Syngoniums- Kitsch'd

More Syngoniums...

 
And here are 2 mixed media/collage flowers that I did a while back. They are now in my son’s room.

Yah, I know there seems to be more press information and less work showcased. Actually truth be told, I am grateful to god. I have had  great response to my work and almost all of it has sold out. That was the good part.
But, the last couple of weeks  I had the beginnings of an artists block so I just took time out to chill and rejuvenate. It helped that my daughter started school and I had to sit outside her school for a few weeks to help in the ’settling down’ period. I also did not want to create something just because I knew I could sell it. So I spent the time working on some new ideas, some pen and inks and some sketches for future paintings. As and when they are complete, I shall post them.
