Welcome, and thanks for visiting my website. I am an Indian artist based in Amsterdam. I paint in the studio as well at Art school, but always facing the subject. I enjoy painting culturally diverse elements and am inspired by places I have visited in the past. My favourite subjects are portraits, still life and landscapes. I learn thanks to the many books that have inspired me but also thanks to the advice and guidance of my Art school teachers, fellow painters, and, of course and foremost, by practicing and working constantly on my skills especially painting.

I like to explore new places to find subjects that inspire me. Then, I start with a rough draft sketch to find the most interesting composition, understanding along the way the lights and shadows and all other important features that determine the outcome of the picture. 

My favourite painting medium is oil paint (for its vibrant colours) which is why I have extensively worked with this medium. Besides being inspired by the great masters (John Singer Sargent, Vincent Van Gogh, Johannes Vermeer), I particularly admire many past artists from the 20th century such as Henri Matisse, Edward Hopper, Amrita Sher-Gil, Piet Mondriaan, Paul Cézanne, M.F. Hussain and many others.

Thank you so much for coming to my website. I hope you enjoyed the pictures and don't hesitate to contact me for any questions or comments.

Yours Sincerely,

Indrani
