Art for upliftment

 Art has a greater purpose to serve, often more than what we understand. Coronavirus pandemic has surely put hold on many things including our run in and out for work and in a way has provided us an opportunity to reflect on ourselves and make better choices. Things have slowed down and lives have slowed down as well and in a way teaching us upliftment. However, we mostly don't have many choices in our busy schedule and to spare hours for art becomes difficult. So, it is important to create something quick yet beautiful and thoughtful, I call such pieces "art for upliftment". 




This collage is of the tiny paintings I make in my diary when I don't have much time. All I use is a brush pen and  handy cake colors. What this does is very interesting, quick results are like mood makers and the bright colors add up to visual appeal. More than anything it gives one satisfaction of having created something, this feeling works like a catalyst for peace of mind. It does not matter if you had a good day or a bad day because creating will only make your day better than it was. 

This cute art thing is like doing yourself a favor. To do this favor all you will need is a few minutes, piece of paper, paint of some kind and a pen. Think of a word or a phrase that you like or you have heard somewhere and put it on the paper in as fancy a way as you can, top it with some tiny floral art or simply spray some paint. A phrase or a word you choose can be anything you like and not some typical motivational quote, remember you are doing this for yourself so make what you want to.

Often I think of these miniature paintings as what we call "ray of hope". They are less demanding, time saver, super easy and look colorful and stunning. I think they release happy hormones just like chocolates so do try it out.

A line of your favorite song or a word from the billboard, everything counts. In the comments let me know if you create any such thing and what is your quick art and also any suggestions are welcome.
Keep creating!

    I have been through this art form and truly after doing it, it gives a mental relaxation and gentle smile on a face of creater like a child smile when it gets what he or she wanted. A line you wrote in your article says, cute things like this doing us a favor which is completely true, it helps us to change our mood from anger to happier, also nervous to refreshed. I flashed the scene of the movie named "tare zameen par". Long scene short, at the end of movie everyone at the school participated in drawing completion including faculties and dignitaries at the time faculties who has image of strict nature enjoying their art.
    And I felt that scene in your lines.
    Keep creating artist, you are inspiring.

    This is amazing. I shall try it now. I had a habit of sketching faces on my notebook back when I was in school and college : just random faces - caricaturish, cartoonish and it used to be a fun activity but never really payed any heed to it. But reading this I realise how even the tiniest of our creation can create such a big impact in our lives, we never know.

    Really admire your work! Keep at it. ✨

    Art really diverts our attention from pandemic. It takes away tension and frustation which we experience during lockdown. Whatever you have said in this blog is 110% TRUE.

Art comes with a price

 Art comes with a price and the price is discipline. In an ideal situation, assuming you have absolutely no other drama going on in life and all you need to do is sit and work on your art, even in this best situation what is required is discipline, routine of creating every single day and making things work. Art is demanding and one undeniable thing is discipline, you need to sit down, create a routine and follow the routine even when you are at your lowest. Great people who have existed and the ones who exist now have one thing in common to say and that is “Take time out and devote it to your art every single day".  Lately, I haven't felt really motivated to do anything but I try my best to be disciplined and put out something and something is always better than nothing. This is one such piece I created out of this mantra, I was not having much of a clue about what I want to create, turned out beautiful. Calligraphy can find its way anywhere, said my teacher and it stuc...

Nothing is better than a classic

 Nothing can beat a classic Mandala. In every art form classics remain unmatchable, the timelessness they have cannot be matched and they seem too far away from hiding any poorly treated but true issues. Their backbone is their mirroring quality and impeccable strength to represent the truth. Like a good movie a good painting will definitely remind you about your life, your struggles, your hesitations and the truth hidden behind the sheets of sugar coated lies.  Best art comes out when you are bound; you are put under a number of restrictions. One flourishes under the pressure, limited resources makes us understand the importance of resources and makes us wiser; this happens because our energy gets focused on those limited things and gives space to organize and use them in the best way. It is a kind of a freedom one feels while working with boundaries. You know how big your arena is and how much you are allowed to stretch. While creating this Mandala, I had nothing in my mind....

Flashback: Mandala the life savior

 It has been more than two years since I started making Mandalas. When I drew my first Mandala it was just for fun and the curiosity to create something new, since then Mandalas have been like a friend who is always present to listen to me and hold my hand. Over the time we have developed a bond which imparts energy to me and has become my muse. It has helped me get through my worst and cheered me at my best. Evolving with mandalas has been a thing, it is like a friendship. A kind of a friendship in which you know that there is someone at bay, and no matter if it has been months for years without talking but it is just there unconditionally. For me, Mandalas has been this unconditional love and support. It has taught me not just what it is (what mandala is?) but also helped me in awakening a part of myself which is mostly sleeping.   As it is said that Mandalas are a source of energy in itself and rightly so but to me this art is not just any art but something that holds ...
