About our Artists of the
Month: Our
artists for the month of July & August 2004 are Dr Praveen and Ms Sudha. They consider
themselves to be amateur artists, but after one look at their work, anybody
would find that hard to believe. The precision and detail that they go into
is truly remarkable and they are in the true sense of the word art enthusiasts. Dr
Praveen holds a doctorate in Civil
Engineering, but he holds painting very dear to his heart and pursues it
actively as a hobby. He uses all sorts of media but truly excels in pencil
sketches which are his forte. He also shows a rare talent for oil
paintings. Ms
Sudha, is as artistic as her husband and this innate talent has been
brought to the forefront with a few techniques and colour mixing that she
learned from Ms Jumana Topiwala. Like her husband, she uses different
mediums, but her talent is truly outstanding in intricate hand
embroidery. She has also done myriad paintings in water colours, pastels,
oils as well as glass paintings. She has won many accolades, one of them
being, winning the third prize in the All India Anchor embroidery
contest. Being
such talented people, they are able to perfectly compliment each other in
their artwork. They can offer words of advice or criticism in what the
other does, the end result being a near perfect rendition of their work,
whatever medium it may be. Ms
Sudha renders portraits as well as sceneries in hand embroidery. If you
would like anything in particular to be done for you by way of embroidery
or paintings do feel free to
