Hi!Get to Know me

Hi, I'm Amita; a self-taught artist from Hubli, India.

I always wanted to pursue art because that would make me feel content.

But I ended up doing engineering and subsequently a corporate job.

 

What started off as a hobby close to my heart, turned into a part of

my daily life when I quit my job in the corporate back in 2010. When life

gave me another chance at being an artist, I couldn't have asked for more.

 

With no formal art education, I loved spending hours and hours experimenting

with different mediums and techniques and eventually learning on the way.

Being a self-taught artist, there has been room for a huge amount

of experimentation and tinkering, which is something I look forward to.

 

Sitting there in my studio for hours, I believe I tend to have a very intimate

connection with the canvas. I think that art exceeds the boundaries

of language and interpretation. Being an intuitive artist, I love free-flowing

brushstrokes, abstract compositions, new ideas and styles.

​

I've been fond of water lilies , lotus, and landscapes filled with

flora since I was a kid and now when I see my artworks

garnering attention and recognition, I feel grateful.

​

My art has been collected in India, United States, United Kingdom, Dubai,

Qatar, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland etc.

​

I'm hoping that my art communicates with you as well.
