artists' statement

I am an artist working in Mumbai,India,for many years.I have so far had four solo shows and participated in many group shows,both in Mumbai and Delhi .I have earned my masters degree in fine arts . My early works were mostly landscapes, still lives and floral representations on mostly canvas. Later my style changed towards figurative ,incorperated with print and more recently design. The figures mostly display feelings of passion,peace,joy and sensuality.I have experimented and practiced different techniques and mediums like oil, acrylics,watercolours and tempera.I have been greatly influenced by Matisse, Van Gogh and Paul Gaugin and more recently Robert Kushner’s collage works .Love for poetry and form drove me towards William Blake. My aim is to produce a natural appeal in my work, where the human form is in the prominance,while working in a contemporary figurative style.. Sunita Anand Rao Media Coverage This is regarding my Lalit Kala Academy show in the year 2005 “We have amongst us an artist par excellence”.Quoted by Jagdish Chawla ,about my Art EXHIBITION AT Lalit Kala Academy.I got a 4 page write up by the same critic ,in Womens Era in the July issue ,2005 and my name got carried in all major newspapers like Times,Hindustan ,Tribune ,Indian Express etc. I came across Sunita's paintings by chance on the web and I immediately fell in love with her depictions of family and friends. A rare and modest treat of "life inspired" art.D.K SCHEFFER
