Art Buzz: Bangalore Art Scene, October, 2015, Art Scene India

Artist Statement: My work, like my life, navigates through the real and the imagined. I am fascinated by the overlapping of time –how the time ‘present’, however physically real, incorporates both time past and the time to come. This continuous processing of time through memory and imagination is at the heart of my work. In recent paintings, the physicality of the real world recedes to make room for the incorporeal, allowing for an inherent multiplicity of experience.

Atul Padia and White Sanctum art gallery present an exhibition titled "108 Vinayaka 108 Kalavinayaka" - 4-7th Oct at White Sanctum Art Gallery

Wall Art: Ideas for Dressing up Walls

Inspirations for Interiors: Ideas for Dressing up Walls, home decor, Asian Paints
Decorating interiors offers a wonderful opportunity to play around with colours and other elements of décor to create a striking impact. It allows you to explore and maximize your creativity, and personalise the space according to the specific requirements of each occupant.

Accessorising walls can be done in multiple ways with distinct effects. Motifs from folk and tribal art, geometric, floral and abstract patterns beautifully anchor the space and are often used in contemporary decor. Each method, whether it is wallpaper, stencils, decals and stickers, or textures will give a different look, and some of these can also be implemented on your own. Amongst these options, stencils and decals are comparatively inexpensive and also easy to use.
