Beauty in His Sovereignity

Sunil is a happy and proud owner of my recent live painting 'Celebration' created at blueFrog, Mumbai. I am happy that my 'beauty' found a nice n cozy home.

Celebrating Womanhood

Celebration II Dimension: 48" x 36"

'Celebration' is an expression of a woman for all the women who have always been left unheard. That precious silence is often  mistaken as Ignorance and Vulnerability whereas her silence is as loud and expressive as the  colours of this painting.
It's the celebration of being a woman who creates and nurtures life, who represents society by overcoming barriers in her field of work. She partners with men to bring about a change in the perspective of the whole world.
Celebration of Life is the essence of her existence.

Live Painting Show @theblueFROG Mumbai

 Live painting with a musical band called Indiva on the theme 'Celebrating Womanhood'  to commemorate  Nirbhaya's 2nd death anniversary at blueFROG Mumbai. At the end of the event the painting was auctioned to support the IMCARES' cause.

It's very difficult for an artist to decide when it should be announced that the painting is complete...so it was for me.
I finally called it 'Celebration'

'Draw Me Close to You' by Kelly Carpenter -An Inspiration

Draw Me Close To You
Dimension 36" x 24"


Draw me close to you, never let me go.
I lay it all down again, to hear you say that I’m your friend.
You are my desire, no one else will do.
No one else can take your place, to feel the warmth of your embrace.
Help me find the way, bring me back to you.
You’re all I want. You’re all I’ve ever needed.
You’re all I want. Help me know you are near.

It's a beautiful song written by Kelly Carpenter. The song intensely expresses the longing for God's nearness and confirms that "there is nothing on earth I desire besides you." This song has deeply affected me and truly expressed the reality of my heart. I remember singing "You're all I want, You're all I ever needed," with deep faith and conviction. I was moved to tears at the point of realisation that how futile it is to seek joy in anything other than God Himself.

This painting is an expression of prayer to God to draw me close to Him and never let me go. Knowing fully well that no one else can take your place , to feel the warmth of your embrace. Help me find the way, bring me back to you.

'Imagination'

Dimension 8x10"

One of my latest commissioned artwork..which is a set of 3 different paintings and now a proud possession of Mr. Ashish Thapliyal.

Blessed Womb

Blessed Womb  48" x 42"

....you brought me out of the womb;
    you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast.
From birth I was cast on you;
    from my mother’s womb you have been my God. (Bible, Psalm 22:9-10)

*For you O Lord,created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place,
 when I was woven together in the depths of the Earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body;
 all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts, God!*

Prayer- My Devotion

Prayer  36" x 36"

While I was painting this piece I had some random thoughts about Prayer and the power of prayer. Prayer is a beautiful medium to connect with the loving Almighty Father and the realm of intimacy it creates in our relationship with Him thrills our hearts. Its a two- way line of communication, back n forth...and I have experienced so many times that God places special concerns n prayers on our hearts for someone or something which He is concerned about n chooses us to redeem those areas on behalf of Him. For that He equips us with His divine power and boldness to stand between the gap as an intercessor. 

Just thinking about all this my heart poured out these wonderful patterns on the canvas n I called it "Prayer - My Devotion"

Listen To Your Inner Voice only...there lies the Peace

INNER VOICE 36" X 36"

No matter how many voices n noises deafen you from all around, the peace lies only when you listen to your inner voice, because that's the voice of your heart.

Agony of Invisible Wounds

36" X 24"

This painting is a tearful expression of the recent atrocities on 

women and girls all over India.

I am not Alone!

I AM NOT ALONE 24" x 20"

God's majestic creation always surrounds us.

He says, I will never leave you nor forsake you. Hebrews 13:5

JOY

JOY 40"x 24"

God’s Joy never fails.

Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him,

and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.

Sensation

SENSATION 18" X 24"

This painting is an expression of a beautiful sensational feeling

when you look at the beauty which is deep inside the coziness of the flower,

especially after rain.

DANCE

Wilderness

WILDERNESS 18"X 18"

Do not be afraid for I am with you, do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41:10 

There are times when we feel lonely n feel as if our life is just a waste.. so many questions regarding our worth starts to bog us down - What am I doing? Where am I heading? Am I doing the right thing? What's the purpose of my life?

But here in Isaiah 41:10 God clearly expresses His love n His sovereignty not only over our lives but over all our emotions n feelings too. Here he is giving us a Promise to never leave us n forsake us. He wants to bring us out from the wilderness of our life n all confusions to give us peace n purpose to our lives. 

Trinity

Trinity 24" x 24"

 The Trinity expresses the belief that God is one Being made up of three distinct

Persons. The three persons are distinct, yet are one substance, essence or nature,

and functions differently as the Father, Son-Jesus and Holy Spirit.

Unloved

UNLOVED 22" x 14"

Jesus is the Love defined....Love is no more a concept...no more an abstract feeling....When I look upto Jesus I see Love....In Him the content of love is epitomized...Where there is no love there is no life, no meaning... No matter how often you are rejected, no matter how bad n vulnerable n unloved you feel....there is Jesus who welcomes you with open arms accepting you as you are...comforting you n loving you forever n ever unconditionally and at all times....trusting in Him gives Joy to the heart. In Him you never feel alone. In Him you have peace that passes all understanding.
