Happy Women's Day

Summer Vaccation

Summer Vacation is over and its been a month since the school reopened. Now I am in 5th std and in new block. However new the block may be, I hate going to school. I enjoy Art workshops and during the summer vacation I attended workshops in India and Singapore. I learned making greeting cards at Craffers Paradise, Singapore. I made a card for my Mummy (as she could not come with me) and she considers it a precious gift.

Gathering at Art World

The 2nd happy moment was a gathering at Art World which witnessed the launch of eminent aritst Surya Prakash's book. Senior Artists Mr. Gopinath, R. Bhaskaran, Ms. Asma Menon and many others were present there. The book was released by the Deputy Consul General for U.S. Consulate Mr. Axel Saurer.

Gopinath Uncle commented that I have grown up after he met me few years before. Surya Prakash Uncle also remembered seeing me at the age of 5 at the Taj Hotel Auction. Media friends were eager to know what is my next project.

My Dad mentioned about my Animation film to Mr. Saurer. Mrs. and Mr. Saurer were very humble and they appreciated this effort very much. Bhaskaran Uncle also appreciated me for having made this film for Ustadji. Daruwala Uncle and Sarla Aunty were so kind and caring for me.

I was surrounded by blessings and Love from senior people which made me feel very happy.

மும்பையில் வருணாவின் வண்ண மழை!

நவ.14,2009 : coverage in vikatan - http://youthful.vikatan.com/youth/Nyouth/varuna141109.asp

குழந்தைகள் தினத்தையொட்டி, மும்பையில் உள்ள நேரு சென்டர் ஆர்ட் கேலரியில் ஓவியக் கண்காட்சி நடத்துவதற்கு இரண்டு மாணவர்களுக்கு மட்டுமே அழைப்பு விடுக்கப்பட்டது.

அதில் ஒருவர்... சென்னையைச் சேர்ந்த 9 வயது சிறுமி எஸ்.வருணா!

சென்னை - கோட்டூர்புரத்தைதிலுள்ள ஏ.எம்.எம். மெட்ரிகுலேஷனின் படிக்கும் எஸ்.வருணா மற்றும் புனேவைச் சேர்ந்த ஹரிஸ் கான் என்ற மாணவன் ஆகியோரின் ஓவியப் படைப்புகளால் அலங்கரிக்கப்பட்ட கண்காட்சி, மும்பை - நேரு சென்டர் ஆர்ட் கேலரியில் கடந்த 10-ம் தேதி தொடங்கியது.

குழந்தைகள் தினத்தையொட்டி ஏற்பாடு செய்யப்பட்ட இவ்வண்ணமிகு கண்காட்சியைத் 'தாரே ஜமீன் பர்' படத்தின் கதாசிரியர் அமோல் குப்தே தொடங்கி வைத்தார்.

கண்காட்சியை அலங்கரித்தப் படைப்புகளைக் கண்டு வியந்த அமோல், வருணா மற்றும் ஹரிஸுடன் அவர்களது ஓவியங்கள் குறித்து கலந்துரையாடினார்.

வருணாவின் அர்த்தம் பொதிந்த ஓவியங்களும், அதன் நேர்த்தியும் தன்னை ஆட்கொண்டதாகக் கூறினார், கதாசிரியர் அமோல்.

ஒன்பதரை வயதேயான வருணாவுக்கு, இது பத்தாவது ஓவியக் கண்காட்சி!

அன்னை தெரசா தனது கைகளில் வெள்ளைப் புறாவை வைத்திருக்கும்படியான ஓவியத்தைப் பற்றி வருணா விளக்கியதை, பார்வையாளர்கள் வெகுவாக ரசித்தனர்.

பெற்றோரின் வழிகாட்டுதலோடு தனது இரண்டு வயதிலேயே ஓவியம் தீட்டத் தொடங்கிய வருணா, இக்கலையை முறைப்படி தொடர்ந்து கற்று வருகிறார்.

இந்த ஓவியக் கண்காட்சி இம்மாதம் 16-ம் தேதி வரை நடைபெறுகிறது. காலை 11 மணி முதல் இரவு 7 மணி வரை கண்காட்சியில் ஓவியங்களை ரசித்து மகிழலாம்!

3rd class with kids

Today was my 3rd class with lovely kids at Kid Central. I taught them to use Dry Pastels, they were quite excited about the new medium and tried different things. I am loving this experience.

The new Phase

I have joined the art school run by Shihan Hussaini..I am loving it..There is a lot of competiton happening and i can earn money if I win..hmm..its about volume..the one who paints more number of paintings can win 1000 rs. a week...

I have started working for it now..Today i did 15 paintings...one of which is MJ. I love him and I miss him so much..

I dream that one day he will come and talk to me...

My Practice

I was practicing for a live painting show to support a cause. Videos of the same.

My other Passion

I had been learning Key Board for the past 1 year. I started learning carnatic music 2 years ago, but then took a break. Later I started with Western Music, a year ago. I got a chance to perform in my school. I played 3 songs, taught by my Master. Lawrence. Check this out..

My New Works

Dear Friends,

It's been a long time..that I uploaded something on my blog...Yday I was trying my hands on some different mediums and techniques. My dad got me some color chalks made in Thai from the Thailand Exhibition in Chennai, which is said to be dust free and I was very excited.

The immediate thing I did was to take a Slate and draw on it. I like Power Puff Girls and I drew that. This medium is interesting.. my Dad says we can use that to draw on floor in Roads etc., as the road side artist do..it is an appreciated art in foreign countries..but here people use that art to beg..sad...

Then the below picture is a landscape painting combining two techniques. One is masking and the other is spray painting. I masked the area of images using a masking tape and then used a tooth brush to spray the unmasked area.. after a while I removed the masking tape and painted the image area..it has come out fairly well, but the tape medium was not a right choice.. I prefer rubber solution instead of tape...

On-line Competition Prizes

Hi Friends,

It has been long time that I posted some news. Today I am going to write about On-line competition and my prize winning entries. Artshowforkids is a website which hosts online competition for kids and sells the works of child artists. I have been participating in this for the past one year and 3 of my paintings have won prizes.

My painting titled 'Climate Change' won the 1st prize. This is a digital drawing to convey message to reduce pollution. I recommend using eco-friendly fuel (made out of natural things, like bio-diesel etc) which will help reducing polluting smokes, thus reduce Global Warming.

My Painting titled 'Save Trees' also won 1st prize recently. This is also a digital drawing again on Global Warming. Cutting down trees contributes to Climate Change and thus affecting the rain fall, here I wish to request the man kind to save tress.

My other painting titled 'Mother and Child' for the theme 'A Greener Safer Planet' won 3rd prize. This is a feather-craft which has an image of a Happy Mother & Child living in a greener safer environment.

for more details you may check the Ended Public Art show column in www.artshowforkids.com.

I also wish to inform that on 8th july, 2009 my interview in Sun T.V was telecasted for a program 'Saadhikka pirandhom' (born to achieve). I will soon post it in you tube for you to watch.

S.H. Raza or Syed Haider Raza (born 22 February 1922) is an eminent Indian artist who has lived and worked in France since 1950, but maintains strong ties with India. S.H.Raza is better known as the ‘master of colors’. Raza is one of the distinguished Indian artists of the century. His works basically include real and abstract landscapes blossomed with vibrant colors.

His works are mainly abstracts in oil or acrylic, with a very rich use of color, replete with icons from Indian cosmology as well as its philosophy . He was awarded the Padma Shri and Fellowship of the Lalit Kala Akademi in 1981 and Padma Bhushan in 2007.

At a Dec 2006 auction, a painting by Raza reportedly sold for US $1.4 million.

Inspired by Rasaz's style I have painted an abstract series today.. let me know your comments.

My 9th show - Tiny Pixels

Tiny Pixels is a digital art exhibition and is dedicated to revere the role of Technology in ART. The show consisted of paintings done in digital medium and printed using technology. Thiru P.C. Sreeram, ace Cinematographer & Director has kindly consented to be the chief guest for the occasion. Guest of Honors were director thiru. Pandiraj, Sriram and Kishore of Pasanga fame.

National Technology Day is a very special day for Indian science since 1999. It is so significant because India achieved a huge technological advancement on the day. The first, indigenous aircraft “Hansa-3” was test flown at Bangalore on this day. Not only this, India also performed successful test firing of the Trishul missile on the same day. India also executed three successful nuclear tests, carried out at Pokhran, in Rajasthan May 11.

Feather Art

My Dear Friends and Well Wishers,

Art is my passion and I wish to explore all facets of art. Hence I try different medium from Painting to Installation. I have a penchant for Installation and sculpting, the forth coming page will have pictures about my craft works, sculpting and installations. Whatever I look at has an artistic form in it and so I keep making collage, shapes, characters out of it. When I am at a dinning table in a hotel too, my eyes look for forms and colors. The Plate becomes the face and the fork & spoons take the form of a stick figure for torso... The napkin is made to a dog's face.. There has not been a single day that I resisted myself from creating a piece of art... "from a small bit of rags to a big marble stone, nothing can escape through her hands... they will be reborn" - quotes my mom....

Below is the installation pics and video
