5th February ’16, Kolkata: Art is multifaceted and even an entire
lifetime may be short to experience its varied forms.This is a journey on which
Suman Parasrampuria has ventured
to experience art. To bring forth spontaneity to the subject she has
chosen Enchanting Siddhartha. Her work “Enchanting Siddhartha”was unveiled
by Smt. Bharati Roy, Ex Pro Vice Chancellor of Calcutta University on 5th
February 2016 at Gallery Gold, near Menoka Cinema Hall at 5.30pm.
The Exhibition continues till 10th February
2016, from 3pm to 8pm daily.
Suman Parasrampuria, searches for expressions through art. She
plays with colours in her paintings depicting her ethos, a spontaneous and
joyful celebration of life. Suman’s paintings portray her baroque style, be it
landscapes, seascapes or portraits. From a housewife, a cancer patient to an
aspirant artist she is a self-taught painter, rekindling her love for art. She
has been a part of many group exhibitions over the years and her work has also
been commissioned for use in places like, New Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, UK,
USA and Germany.She expresses herself through various mediums which converge to
create her explicit style. With her creativity and imagination she has indulged
in acrylic technique.
Life lost all
its meaning and colours to Suman, when she was undergoing the painful recovery
process and sessions of chemotherapy. At the end of her final surgery she
realised that she was cancer free which gave her a new inspiration to hold the
brush again to rejuvenate and save herself spiritually.
During her
recovery from cancer, she courageously decided to paint again. She then wondered
what to draw and deep down within, a voice whispered to her artistic soul to
try “Buddha” symbol of inner peace. Buddha was a very natural and intrinsic
call for her. Suman gradually started painting Buddha and soon peace prevailed to
awaken her soul. For someone who experienced life near-death moments every day,
Buddha helped her to realize the deep philosophy that nothing exists
independently or eternally; nothing is permanent. Buddha said “The mind is
everything. What you think, you become. If you change your thinking, you will
change your life”. This literally helped her change her own perspective towards
life.
Speaking on her exhibition Suman Parasrampuria said “My
recent work named “Enchanting Siddhartha” was started couple of years. I tried
to portray pleasant, peaceful and attractive Buddha images, poured my soul into
it. So through my current work “Enchanting Siddhartha” tried to express the
various moods of Buddha which I gain from the environment and people around me.”
