Artist Statement

 

Painting, for me, is a way to relax and disappear from the world into my imagination and comfort place. I find painting fun, and enjoyable, and it helps me relieve all my stress. In addition, my artworks are abstract in style, visualizing my imagination, inner thoughts, and emotions. I have a different creative process than others. Rather than planning my artwork, I prefer to start painting right away. I put a canvas in front of me and paint what my imagination, emotions, and thoughts want to express. However, some parts of my artwork are planned, such as the materials and colour. My artworks are parts of me that I want to convey to the people around me and the world without judgment, as well as to hope that others can connect with them and express their imagination, emotions, and thoughts just like I have through my artworks.

Artist Biography

My name is Shruti Sharma and I am currently studying Visual Studies. Since I was little, I have always had a little interest in art, especially abstract art. I found abstract art very interesting because there are no restrictions on what colour or design it has to be; as well as the conversation with people as to what they see in the abstract artwork. Moreover, I believe that memories are not only built on people and places but also on the emotions and thoughts we feel at that moment. Thus, is what my paintings showcase using the abstract style.
