Located above the navel, Manipura translates from Sanskrit as "city of jewels" alternatively translated as "resplendent gem" or "lustrous gem". Manipura is often associated with the colors yellow, blue in classical tantra, and red in the Nath tradition.
Manipura is associated with fire and the power of transformation. It is said to govern digestion and metabolism as the home of Agni and the vital wind Samana Vayu.
I have tried to access a balanced state while painting this piece in order for the viewers to have a balancing effect on their own Manipura chakra.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

A multidisciplinary schizoaffective artist from Mumbai and Bangalore currently studying and growing in the world of art at the prestigious Chitrakala Parishath Bangalore, India.

The shows I have been a part of are in Bangalore Mumbai and Goa.

MABA Mumbai Prince of Wales Museum. Solo show at the Metro Gallery Bangalore.

Was selected to be part of Chitrasanthe the National Art Festival in Bangalore where a jury selected 1000 artists and artisans from all over India display their works and over 500,000 art lovers are in attendance.

Solo show at Si Bambai Art gallery in Mumbai's art district. Was featured in DYU Art Café Bangalore. Took part in Goa Collective Bazaar. Was again selected to take part in Chitrasanthe 22.

I have enlisted the details of these exhibitions in the section below.

My collectors are both via Online portals and exhibitions. So far, I have sold to USA, Mexico, The Netherlands, Australia and India.

As an artist, my story is one of persistence against all odds . In 2011 I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, but rather than a hindrance I believe it works to shape my unique understanding of life, and seeing the beauty in the banal and divinity in the dull.

My mind is extremely focused, but also warped and highly impressionable. It is deeply influenced by spirituality, the humanities, and Indian mythology with social activism sometimes. I like the viewer to experience a deeper meaning of life.

I apply references from scriptures and popular culture (e.g. rap) as talking points. Bold, bright colors, abstract expressionism, and mixed media come as second nature to me.

I currently live in India, alternating between Mumbai and Bangalore and have a full-time dedicated art practice after having left the hospitality industry ( the field of my bachelor's).

My themes are based on my own spiritual practices and experiences. I draw inspiration from Indian mythology and try to draw abstract from the same. I paint with bold and bright colors because I am a colorful person! :-) I like to exaggerate the colors I see around me in India.
