Meet the Artist: Nanda Patel
Today, my soul paints with passion but also weaves in nature and spirituality. I paint with the knowledge of my mother and my grandmother in my heart. The Indian cultural cannot, not be part of me at every level. It stays in all the work I do. I create my art with those colors and fabrics and emotions. I have missed growing up with it and so I carry it with me. My mother and grandmother wore saris all their lives. I use saris to depict my emotions. The color, design and fabric help cultivate what I want to say. It is simply part of my journey. It evolves every day. The other emotions that are strongly represented in my work are world peace, the Sanskrit sound of Aum and the disparity of humanity and race. I like to weave ‘cultivation of global peace’ or what can cause conflict, into my work. I like to encourage ‘human individuality’ in my work. Read the full bio…
