Live Sketching in Kerala

My Father has told me several times that I should try various styles and techniques of art if I have to be a Popular artist. During the summer vaccation in May'09 we went to allepey and I did live sketching of the scenery of the back waters. Kerala is truly 'God's own Country' and we stayed in a beautiful Island, which truly inspited me to draw. I started to sketch while we were in train itself seeing through the window and from my favourite Tinkle digest.

I love to update more videos..as the file sizes r big..it takes time... will post more videos,,, shortly

My Abstract Paintings in 2005

By now most of you might have read my profile and may be aware that I started drawing and painting since the age of 2 1/2. In this page I am attaching few pics and video of my abstract paintings, I painted in 2005. With a great support from my Dad, I had full liberty for my creative expression and I wish many children like me who love to paint also get such opportunities.

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

Memorabilia

my 4th show - inaugurated by Shri Surjit Singh Barnala

MY Fourth show was for the “World Peace Day” titled “Varuna’s Hands on Peace” held on 22^nd sep,2007 at Raj Bhavan, Guindy following day after “World Peace Day”. His Excellency the Governor Shree. Surjit Singh Barnala had kindly inaugurated the show. The show featured 194 works of art representing 194 countries of the world. Our Governor quoted that “Varuna is the only child (to his knowledge) to have held Painting exhibitions at this very young age and she has good potentials”.

Mediums of Painting:

I chose to present my art in the following Mediums:

· Paintings – B/W drawing, Pastels, Acrylics, Water Color, Photo Colors

· Pebble Art – Arranging Colorful pebble stones in formation of Peace related messages

· Photo Art – Importing a photographic picture into a painter software and using digital techniques to write messages

· Sand Art – Writing and drawing about peace on the sands (near the sea shores)

Peace education is not simply favoring the absence of war. Children must be guided to think clearly, analyze penetratingly, and challenge fearlessly. The next generation of children must reject killing as an uncivilized and unproductive way to deal with human conflict. The citizens of the world deserve future leaders who will be able to face and solve problems with diplomacy and dialogue.

when we love everything and everyone on this earth, then there is no conflict, no violence, no groupism and no war.

My 3rd Show Duo Show with my Dad

On March 13th 2007, when my father Ap. Shreethar hosted a unique show on Ustad Dr. Zakir Hussain, titled 'Zakir Hussian in my Dreams" which was inaugurated by the Maestro himself in Chennai. Jointly I exhiited my abstract strokes on ustadji and our Tabela Maestro appreciated my paintings. He autographed them. When I showed my 1st International Award for my painting he showed it to all and gave his blessings. After that I have never missed to meet him during his visits to Chennai for consorts.

During one such occassion I showed him my next award "Youngest Corel Certified Designer", again he showed to all his fans in his green room and congratulated me. He is a great musician and a humble Person. I love Zakirji. I consider that I am very fortunate to pay tribute to him by my drawing. I admire his humility and thank him very for his encouragement
