Imagine, Express, and Create Master Piece!



Artist prashanti



Artist Statement:

"I always wondered how our existence first came to be, and what part imagination had in its creation. The Art behind this is something we
can’t explain in words. The way I express it is through paintings.

I was born in India so you will see a little flavor of Indian culture in
my paintings. Most of my paintings are based on my own Imagination. However I indulge myself in various forms of art such as contemporary realism, landscapes, and figurative paintings."
