As a child, Sarah Qureshi was awestruck by the form that simple paints could take on a blank sheet of paper. The transformation from a blank canvas to a painting with a multitude of colours always amazed her. Even today, it with this pure childlike enthusiasm that the artist continues to paint. She is a graduate in Science and Multimedia. Constantly experimenting, Sarah likes to use mixed mediums in her work. Also, creating abstract art or doodling are her dear favorites.

Kalpana Hombali’s paintings are representational. She believes that successful artistic expressions touch the soul or stir emotions in the viewer. “A childlike innocence and curiosity, a willingness to learn, a little imagination and adaptation to change are the essential ingredients of artistic expression”- says Kalpana. The beauty and magic of nature have encouraged her to take up painting. She enjoys working with oil, charcoal, pastel, gouache and acrylic, but has always returned to transparent watercolor.

“A ‘Woman Form’ holds, not just secrets of changing history but at the same time is capable of revealing all that she embraces within.”Believes the artist – Rasana Bhardwaj. The strength of this beautiful creation of God has fascinated her since her childhood. Painting the woman form in contented or doldrums and enveloping colors around all her feminine poses has brought Rasana in the mid of the meadows of mysteries, between the woods of dilemma, alleys of strange thoughts, rooms of perplexed atmosphere and in the detention of struggle. Bringing all that down in lines, colors and creating an ambiance for her on the canvas has been Rasana’s adventure trip through Art.
