Art Fair Dubai 2014


was held here on the 1st and 2nd November! 
They invited and encouraged galleries 
and artists
 to make the most of this exclusive platform
 for presenting their artwork and gain prominence.


Artists and Art galleries 
from all around the world participated
 and what an awesome Art Fair it was.
So much art...love for art...colours ....
techniques....textures...thoughts
 ....ideas...
what an experience!







I really liked this sculpture





The vibrant colours were just enough to make my heart go oolala!





The fine details and super textures were appreciable!









To add to the whole charm ...
the famous Indian artist A. V. Ilango
 was there to paint live in front of us!
 Now what else could my little artist heart ever wish  for :)
It was so fascinating
 to watch him start from simple dabs of colour
 to a beautiful painting...
his palette knife moved like magic
 and I stood there appreciating how the eyes
...hands and thoughts coordinated with each other
 to result into a beautiful piece of art!







and there was live music too!!




The painting finally...



I held a workshop the next morning.
 Drawing and painting on re-used tea bags...
now this was something they had never heard about!















The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a creative fever. It is not a drug, it is a particular state when everything happens very quickly, a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness, of fear and pleasure ... it's a little like making love, the physical act of love. Francis Bacon



What an amazing experience !!

I will be the rainbow of your cloud!





I will be there to share
 my colours with you 
whenever you are 
feeling blue!


I will be the moon 
of your nights 
and make your days 
sunny bright!



when you find 
yourself falling 
I will be there
 with my arms open



I will let my smile 
touch yours
for you are my world
and my love is yours!



Your silence is beautiful
but I have to say this aloud
I will always be the rainbow 
of your cloud!!




On my way....taking inspiration....exploring....learning...dreaming new wishes ...every day :)

"Turning Pointe"





Hey my lovely friends
It has been actually long since I wrote a blog Post !
Wondering what I had been upto ?
Well I was busy with my hands in the paint jars
and my eyes glued to my canvas  ...
creating "Turning Pointe"

W2W is a specialized event management company
which promotes and offers platform to various professional organizations,
 companies, Brands, and individuals.
 Over the years, w2w has conceptualized and created various genres of events to cater to this ever growing market.

Every year W2W create an event
Against the Tides 
where artists from various nations 
join together to showcase their talents. 
The 5th edition of the event which had a super opening on this 28th of September
 is still on at Dubai International Art Centre. 

Here are a few pictures to give you the feel...

























It was an absolutely delightful experience. 
The theme this year
 was to celebrate the survivors and fighters of breast cancer. 
An opening night where 
warriors walked in eye catching attires
 celebrating "Pain to Power,"
adorning the walls were beautiful paintings
 representing different perceptions 
of artists
 celebrating "faith, strength and perseverance"
 of breast cancer survivors!  
There were songs on guitar,
and poetry reading also !

My painting "Turning Pointe"
was dedicate to the theme and
inspired from my own poem 



  I sat there that moment
with a spark in my eyes
curious...confused... marveling
where my strength lies...

looking for a miracle
happening now ...happening here
a moment ...that is magical
and I looked and looked everywhere

every shadow... each star
every thorn... each flower
I looked... and ...searched
in the sun ...and in the shower

what made me different
I wondered
and in this quest for illumination
I surrendered

I sat there that moment
my heart ... still...
calm... and listening to each beat
I tried to look within

and then I found I am here
to live this 'now'
to let my radiance shine
 to be me... and to be a WOW :)


It was a night with
beautiful vibrant colours splashed all around ,
cheerful, beautiful people,
creativity in the air,
an unmatchable...lively atmosphere
and all this was just enough to 
lift my spirits high!

Faith



Oh my little heart
keep shining your light
it may be dark all around
keep beating with all your might

Stay stained 
in the brightest of colour
keep singing 
the songs of love

Your mysterious beats
whisper poetry in my ears
stay untamed
keep following your bliss

The fragrance you emit
blooms in my eyes
Stay unselfed... keep romancing
 and keep painting the skies!
