Pravrusha Thakker Daiya is holding an exhibition of her paintings at the Nehru Centre. The show will go on till Aug. 9. Pravrusha thinks abstract art stems from the heart and soul.
“Everytime I see a blank canvas, something explodes inside me. Abstract art evokes an emotional response. It is allowing things to happen, it is nothing but texture, form and colour. It is a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the visual world.”
Just representing reality does not satisfy the artist. “When once you see that part of painting, the part that keeps you drawn in, you keep thinking and you know that you are analyzing something special.
About her paintings, she says the Lotus symbolizes the fragrance of God’s presence. It symbolizes divinity.
