NAGUESH RAO SARDESSAI
Surabhi Gaikwad, a young and creative artist is showed her paintings at the Goa Kala Academy’s Art Gallery, Panaji.
A trained graduate of fine arts from the Goa College of Art, Alinho, Surabhi went on to complete her masters from the Hyderabad university in the year 2005.
Current exhibition titled ‘Reflections’ had over twenty-seven works on display. Her paintings are the reflections of the happenings in the life of people in general and her experiences in particular. She has, after her masters, completed a brief stint with an art gallery in Mumbai before packing her bags to return to Goa.
Having realized the need to satisfy her own inner self, Surabhi immersed herself in the process of painting. She prefers oils to any other media. ‘Oils,’ she says, ‘suits my temperament and painting style.’ More in love with the process of painting than painting by itself, she works at a leisurely pace.
Most of her works are women oriented and few are based on the subject of relationships. Influences, experiences, feelings and other factors leave an impression on the artist and get translated into paintings. Surabhi’s case is no different. She intends to create a mood and avoids going into intellectual explanations.
Her works are simple and neat and bring out varied moods and shades of women whose anxiety, fears, loving glances etc. gets personified in Surabhi’s paintings.
