Mandala in a hue

 Red is color, orange is a fruit and then there is an apple! These little things have become such an important part of our lives, we find them everywhere. They have become an emotion. Red is not just a color, we have made it a love, it has become an eminent part of our love stories! Orange is a fruit, but this fruit has become so important that we have a color named after it. Color of fierceness and sacrifice and then we taste this pretty fruit, sour and sweet and wonder if this is the same fruit  who's color fills us with an uncertain courage! And then we have an Apple, a standard fruit. We all know how important this standard fruit has become an integral part of our lives, it is almost like without an apple there can be some serious disaster happening in our day to day life and stock market and silicon valley can go crazy! 

Some things are important by their very nature and some we humans make more important than it is because we see some hidden powers in it. Such is a hue, I have never been able to define hue or fully understand it. To me hue is more than just a color, more than just a word to describe immense beauty somewhere close to a most beautiful emotion possible and the most pleasant thing to eyes.

Hue in my mandala, like fries and ketchup they make a great pair. An universe in itself and allowing my mandala to gracefully flare up and pop differently. It makes the mandala complete without any complicated intricate details and yet when one looks at it and it gives the indescribable feeling, calming mind to an extent of  meditation. This what I exactly experienced when I finished this piece, filling the last little circle with hue gave me enough joy and peace to overcome all the bad feelings that had made a place in my body forcefully. 

This is my Mandala in a hue, my diamond in the sky!



Keep creating and keep supporting!

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 ...
