Kusum Shukla’s Artist Self Statement

 

 To get a better understanding of my art, it’s important to understand Kusum the Artist. My self statement aims to precisely that!

I grew up in a city surrounded by forests and hills and my travels around the world brought me even closer to Nature whom I instinctively chose to be Muse to my art and poetry.

I view the scenes before me, capturing that perception in a meaningful moment that might otherwise go unnoticed expressing poetry in colors with palette knives on canvas.

My artwork affirms my faith in God. I use strong vibrant colors indicating the force, optimism & dynamism of Creation in my expressionistic style of art works.

The paintings are an attempt to project the different stages of mental & spiritual evolution, finally attaining Nirvana & escaping the cycle of incarnations. My works also denote “life & beyond”.

They have a spiritual & philosophical essence, which is an integral component of human existence.
