ARTIST SEEMA JINDAL Lost in my world of colors . As a
child,colours were my faithful playmates whom I turned to
whenever I felt disturbed angry or very happy. They helped me
calm down,holding my hand,taking me into another world where I
could be me. After a childhood spent in Tanzania I moved to India
to pursue my studies. A science graduate,the pull of creativity
was too much to resist & I switched over to the arts stream &
subsequently became a lecturer in English after completing my MA
in English litreature. During this phase I took to creative
writing in form of poetry. I get extreme happiness in expressing
on a canvas Being a woman I have the urge to express & share. I
channel my internal restlessness by creating new works of art &
poetry.
I work on my sketches,then transfer them to my canvas. Or if I am
too charged up, I sketch directly on canvas. At times I start
painting immediately if the idea had been building for quite
sometime. I can arrange and rearrange colours on my minds eye and
visualize how the painting will look. Oils are my favourite as
feeling them on my fingers enchantes me. They are also creamier &
easy to handle. Off late I have started enjoying acrylics as they
give immediate results. I love experimenting and I am influenced
by contemporary art as it gives one the freedom of a
bird,allowing one to stretch the wings wide and glide freely
through the wide blue skies of art. As once said by the famous
artist Matta "For me, painting has been like keeping a diary to
widen my inner horizon." |
I love bright colours. They have a therapeutic effect on me.
I use a lot of ultramarine blue. "Kindanky said .... "the deepest
of blue draws man towards the infinite,awakening in him a
yearning for purity and supernatural........ blue is a celestial
colour,peaceful and calming as it becomes deeper.'' Different
colours communicate different moods and emotions. Yellow is one
of my personal favourites. I enjoy its brilliance and warmth.
This could also be one of the reasons why I am drawn to
sunflowers which of late has become my trademark. I use them
simply or sometimes symbolically. Personally when I am extremely
happy I can feel scores of sunflowers bloom within me. My
paintings are my reflections. Working usually on positive
subjects my endeavour is to tap the positive energy of the
viewer. I balance the rich colours and spaces to create visuals
which are pleasant to the mind's eye, urging it to look beyond.
All this is done subconsciously. At times peeling layers off my
subconscious to express is quite taxing and leaves me exhausted
but happy. |
