"Vinnyasa Premier Art Galery"


		Sarla Chandra’s [1943] artistic idiom has a strong bias with Indian tradition both technically and visually mediating her works through delicate water colours or oils, foregrounding the mythic culture of India. Her visual language gestures towards Indian pictorial tradition as in the Ajanta murals. The rhythmic linearity evokes a poetic feel. Her works perceptively are also rooted in Indian philosophy that is visualized through iconic forms as Buddha or any of the iconic deities from the Hindu pantheon. Her colours are equally subtle and fragrantly nuanced that emphatically express her
emotional and philosophical concerns. Her artistic journey is one of introspection, deeply engaging with philosophy that serves as grist for her artistic mill. According to Sarala, “The source of my inspiration originates in ancient Vedic hymns. I get inspired by the surroundings, scriptures of our culture and try to understand them by meditating. Even while painting, several things come to my mind and I get inspired to put them on canvas.
