about my watercolors....

My paintings are representations of an enthralling journey of love, the contradictions in a relationship, and complex emotions involved in a marriage. All the feelings captured from my own experiences over the years are conceived and depicted employing uncomplicated imagery, where the couple in a marriage plays the love game, often their egos clashing. The series of paintings titled ‘Intimate Love’, ‘Caged Desires’, ‘Forever We shall not Depart’, etc, are inspired from beautiful love poems, which talk of emotions such as pain, possessiveness, jealousy etc that a person experiences while in love.

A longing for togetherness as well as a constant struggle to define each ones own space is what comes out, while a newly wedded couple try to balance their home and their personalities at the same time. The sharing and bearing of each others stance helps them grow as individuals, while each one becomes a reflection of the other.

The relationship between man and woman is often like the yin and yang in Chinese philosophy. It is often described in terms of sunlight playing over a mountain and in the valley. Yin is the dark area occluded by the mountain, while yang is the brightly lit portion. As the sun moves across the sky, yin and yang gradually trade places with each other, revealing what was obscured and obscuring what was revealed. Thus, seemingly disjunctive or opposing forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, giving rise to each other in turn, just as in a relationship.

Nirmala Biluka,

Baroda.
