Heavenly Art Talking - Oil Paintings Gallery

From my vantage point, ever mesmerising skylines of the man-made cities have always been on my oil painting bucket list. My ever-growing desire to observe and put my version of such gripping subjects on canvas is something I love to do.  Unlike the natural skylines the man crafted skylines on the canvas of mother nature is something which is very powerful and symbolic to human existence. Manhattan New York skyline is one out of the many around the world.

“The Winter Murk” is my original piece of oil painting where I have depicted the winter snow slowly consuming the golden sunset as it hails down and takes over the skyscrapers of the city and provides a murky yet beautiful view of something which I feel is the unified result of human architecture and mother nature.
 

Realism and Realistic work on canvas is left by most of the artist in an era when photography was introduced to this world. In the early 20th century when Pablo Picasso created “The Ladies of Avignon” for the first time an artist dared to break the resemblance and painted against the standards by creating a new pictorial universe which had more than one perspective, more creative and unreal in nature. It had opened a way for the most artistic movement of the 20th century Cubism. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form, instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context.   

A mix of Impressionism and Cubism is what you will discover in these original oils painted art works done by me. The “The Faith” is an impression where I have depicted faith as an emotion a feeling of pure sensuous atmosphere of tranquility in divinity. which is inscribed in each one of us. As human we support and cherish the one who believes. Faith is a treasure which needs care and love with every footstep taken in life (removed foot wares in the artwork).Time lapse is depicted in the belly of the female as she turns from a girl to a mother her faith grows. Where the mother is holding the chin of his son and as he grows older, he turns to be the shoulder on which a woman will lean her head in pure faith in him. 

The pallet of colors was interesting for me to choose in very playful manner, to evoke the sense of joy with the contrast and have a sense of calm in the eyes of the perceiver and food for a thought where they can connect themselves with “The Faith”

Just like an orchestra consisting of many musicians playing different string instruments and sometime with a flavor of vocals create enthralling and near hypnotic symphonies, similarly there are pure and divine experiences in life with the passing time which creates a mesmerizing bond between two souls which is Trust. “Symphony in Trust” is my work of art depicting the expression of trust between two souls which is pure and unconditional.

“No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it.” - Halford E. Luccock

The trust is not developed in an instance, it demands continues focus, determination and two enriching personality to support each other in the journey we walk along the shores of life. In the waves of change we find our true direction and trust is the lighthouse which guides us to the shores of life. 

The pigment of colors used in this work is to entice the viewers to connect with their own selves and reason their thoughts, when did they last came across such empowering trust in their lives? I present you the “Symphony in Trust”

I believe every human being must practice meditation for a minimum of fifteen minutes in a day. The righteous decisions or the dark and sinister ways in our daily life are defined well, when we subconsciously reason and process something in our minds and talk to ourselves. 

Tranquility in Stillness, in this original artwork I have depicted the moment someone ensconced themselves in meditation and slowly drifts into the tranquil state of mind. Thoughts with different perspectives, colors and nature surfaces in their head with much more needed conscious clarity. Stillness in the moment during meditation and the power of subconscious human mind individuals may reach mystic enlightenment. In this state of mind an individual reaches closest to one can get with themselves. According to Buddhism, the practice of Vitarka Mudra (hand gesture) a person is set to reason, consideration and have a meaningful discussion on each of their thoughts and process them with eye opening clarity turning them into wisdom. In meditation we get to acknowledge how deeply we are rooted with nature and its surrounding. Day or night it's just the passing waves of time but are we surfing in the controlled right direction with the compassionate sense of achievement and self-development or just going with the flow. I present to you "Tranquility in Stillness" a four-piece artwork. 

While humans are expanding their vision to look for alternative Planet to inhabit, it does not imply we ignore our Mother Earth. As Humans can tap the imagination and wildest dreams, and with increasing numbers of population and damage to Mother earth, sooner to adapt to the changes, it is better for the Humanity as a whole. Search should go on, inventing and finding better alternative solutions. The Astronaut in the painting holding roses and hugging the lady (mother earth) before he leaves on his next expedition, represents the adventures already started by humans, however ensuring to love and care for our mother earth and always keep in the center of our heart. It is never an excuse to pollute our Mother earth, instead going beyond Earth for the Humanity. We thrive to always look for a similar planet but we know how precious is the one we stay on! 

  “May You Always Know Angels Walk with You.”

How many of you believe there are angels around us to uplift, empower and protect us amid trouble and challenging times? I think many have this believe that the idea of an angel is supernatural and mythical. But I believe there are angel around us in the forms of mothers, daughters, friends, and anyone who stood next to you in your tough time and gave love, care, and strength to you. Also, the ones who left this mortal world, but their souls stayed back, and we could feel their aura and positive vibes around us when no one was around. Stay positive! I present to you "Angel Beside Me".

“Removing the shackles of imprisonment imposed on our ourselves “

Just letting go of things which are not in our power and feeling the presence of the gift that nature has bestowed upon us brings tremendous positive changes in our life.

The Girl in the underwater with her toes facing down and her hand loosely open represents how she is freely embracing the presence of nature and living in the moment, also not letting the water(society expectation) drown her and the white dress depicts her peace of mind and loving heart with her free mind.

 “Together we can face obstacles as deep as the ocean and as high as the Sky.” 

Ocean is like life. Waves shake the ocean wildly, creating disturbances but regardless of how high and forceful it crests, must calm down by itself and at the end, waves are also part of the beauty of the Ocean. Similarly, life has a rollercoaster of ups and downs, without the DOWNS, UPS would be nothing. So, embrace every moment in life and Just “Dance with The Waves”!! 

 "Listen to the Silence! It is trying to say something"

A lady depicted in this art, resembles a sophisticated lady who is juggling with tons of around the clock work demands from this world, millions of thoughts running through her mind. Amid this cacophonous crowd of thoughts, words, opinions, and information, she loses sight of silence, and the chaos keeps building with each passing day. Now she finally took her time to stay “STILL” and listen to the power of Silence. She realizes how gifted and blessed she is. Silence gives her the power to choose. It empowers and guides as her emotional anchor. When the noise stops and silence takes over her, she has the courage to let go of petty things, forgive people, and move on. It helps her to be still, to be present in the now. But most of all, it helps her discover herself.  

 'A two piece original abstract oil painting'

This art expresses the conjunction of thoughts, ideas and circumstances within the human mind which are sometimes surrounded with lines and come in forms of varying magnitude, not to be ignored and at times let it flow and let go of them to revolutionize their inner brilliance and bring in a change.
