Art, to me, is the intersection of real and imagined worlds - weaving dreams, breathing freedom into time and space with emotions etched out in colour .....

In one sense, my oils are 'e-scapes' into a fantasy land where anything may happen; in yet another they inevitably bring me closer to life around me : an acute feeling of isolation or oneness with events, emotions, experiences, feelings, follies, fables, flora, fauna....... the act of applying brush over canvas quite inevitable, almost a colourful certainty.

With paint as a probe, my art explores the universal connections of our shared existence; letting hues and shades define perspectives, illumine thoughts and uncover images….. of untold beauty, or infinite sadness. And hope.

From the dazzling lights and doom-filled darkness of the morphing, multi-coloured metro Mumbai and India, where I stay, to the scintillating galaxies, supernovae and star-birth nebulae of our amazing universe – the images just seem to evolve on canvas, while I let them arrive unfettered and quite spontaneous.

Art, to me, is an integration of all that has come earlier – a force that unifies my passion, knowledge, skills and experience. An M.Tech from IIT Kharagpur, past corporate experience, national and international juried exhibitions, awards, continuous learning in the arts thanks to travel and technology, propel my art forward.


My Growth Phase and Emerging Styles
Over time two techniques have evolved creating a distinct style element in my work. I call them the ‘dots’ and ‘roses’. I’m thankful to God for letting me see beauty in simplicity.

The use of dots as lighting elements I’ve done quite instinctively and received appreciation from senior artists and art lovers alike.

But my favourite is the rose motif, which is now an effortless element in many of my paintings ranging from abstracts to representationals

Smeetha’s Art
Smeetha’s canvasses are dynamic, richly textured story-scapes mirroring her exciting background – she holds an M.Tech from IIT Kharagpur and has worked in engineering and software companies. An intuitive artist who has painted forever, Smeetha says ‘finally coming home to art is a wonderful spiritual culmination; capturing life’s emotions, experiences and events in a riot of colour ……’

Painting professionally for over a decade now, her canvasses are amazing, enchanting, so completely different and unique, that they inspire a childlike wonder on the beholder. Smeetha's range of styles and techniques leaves one gasping for breath and you realise she never stops evolving, experimenting, enjoying immensely the process of enlivening canvasses, recreating emotions, giving you back moments you'd forgotten.
