As promised in my last post, I bring you pictures from the exhibition along with other activities from the day. But first a mandatory picture of me in front of one of our 3 displays, clicked by @ayushijain. :P
The 7 of us (me, @komal,
@ayushijain
@footlooselatika,
@mehakmittal13 & 2 others) reached the venue early morning and were done with our set ups. The morning kick started with an hour of mediation exercises along with some form of music which, I think set the mood just right.
Acrylic art display by a very lovely couple who also had the "fluid art" workshop planned in the evening. I saw some gorgeous pieces made by the artist and understood how they are made. I had the notion that they pour the final layer by resin to make it look shiny but turns out that the paints used in these pieces were mixed with resin all along! I forgot to take close up pictures but so much of the paint looked as if it was floating in the middle of layers. I definitely want to try my hands on this style of art now <3
This moment below will always hold a special place in my heart because it is when two of my artworks got sold along with friend's work! We remember talking of a day when we would do things like these together and here we were, living it! Nothing can match to that, I think. Even though it was our first exhibition, it made us very happy to see and listen to the feedbacks that we were receiving throughout the day.
It was just a few months ago, when I had sold one of my paintings to @mynewlife and handed it over to him myself. This felt surreal just like that but with a fresh perspective of having an official platform. I think giving someone a piece of your creation in which they find value is one of the most beautiful things and a little emotional in the sense that you won't be seeing it again, most probably.
The first one is this ink illustration below, inspired by a stroll around the beautiful streets of Paris. It was the first city that I explored in my Euro trip in October last year and that's why this piece has it's special place. The second one is of a very cute baby monk titled "Pure".
I managed to get a video shot by a friend, thanks to my brain which sometimes forgets doing such important things. Apologies for the orientation.
....Continued in Part II
Lots Of Love <3
