Priyanka Tewari “Fire” & “Synergy

Priyanka Tewari’s work is mostly abstract, spontaneously created with an underlying theme that is an impression of her mind. Her vibrant paintings often tell a story or a message that she chooses to convey in my own words along with the artwork. She thereby combines art and poetry to give a new perspective to her paintings. This, she believes, enhances the viewers experience. She calls it experimental art.

Her method of execution is purely experimental—an amalgamation of different techniques and media, creating various textures and potpourri of color, as they are allowed to mingle on their own without much intervention. She loves to touch and feel color while painting, so does not use brushes. The tactile quality of the surface of her artwork adds to the aesthetics.

Her passion for painting, as a medium to express her deepest emotions, made her quit her job as a software engineer. After a few group shows she got a major break with her first solo painting exhibition in India. Her work was greatly appreciated both in India and abroad. She was profiled in major national dailies, a US-based literary magazine, and by the Creativity and Human Development International Art journal published by Arts Council of England.
