Artist Statement for Anjana Krishnan

Why painting is important to me:
I believe a painting is the primeval art form – the portrayal of the very soul of man and an expression of man’s thought and energy. Each painting is either a prayer or a salutation: a sign that you listen to the real and the imaginary. For me, the gratification that comes from going through the motions of painting is significant and is absolutely essential to my well-being and in this way I am conscious of being totally selfish.
Inspired by my dearest Ammoomma (my grandmother), my darling children, my failures and triumphs, Ayn Rand, Richard Bach, The Eagles, world poverty and inequality, MS Subbalakshmi’s Suprabhatham, chocolate, Gods and goddesses, virgin canvas and paper, Advaita Vedanta and all of nature’s luminous beauty. (In no specific order)
Stirred by the natural world: The brilliant green of new leaves and shoots, stubborn dewdrop clinging to a blade of grass, sunrays filtered by the clouds, magnificient sunrises, smell of the first rain, tadpoles in a pond, music of the waves whispering to the beach, the full moon with remarkable shadows, a new rosebud, rushing waterfall, the brilliant night sky, the fine desert sand, brilliant colours of the oceans, a falling star, all-expressive eyes of cows, and procreation.
