Art Spark Universe

Sharing creative processes, workshops, and behind-the-scenes art journeys. About Pooja Chauhan : Based in Nainital (Uttarakhand), I'm largely a life and nature-taught painter, though I studied BFA at KUMAUN UNIVERSITY NAINITAL around four years ago. At that time I explored collage and roamed hill stations rather than painting, so it's been a joy to rediscover paint in the years since graduation. I

am completely captivated by people, nature, animals specially woman and her strength absorbed by abstract work and the figure. Whether just for my own enjoyment or for private commission, I love to use my brush and paints to creatively capture a likeness. I like to make marks with my paint, and I love to create texture with my knife rather than try for a photographic smoothness, but regardless, the end result should be an accurate observation, created with painterly expressive marks. In my life drawing, I also love to explore mark making - building up my drawing with a complex pattern of marks and varied line. I also work with paper. I love create art from paper and material and of course I can create art peace from anything because whenever I see something I just try to beautify it more. I have done solo exhibition at Lokyata Art Gallery after that I have done Group exhibition at Lalit Kala Academy. I won second prize at Leh in Best Out of west Material competition, won Best Teacher Award from Akhil Bhartiya Nagrik Vikas Kendra. . Had pleasure as being an Honorable judge of the literacy event (Poster, Cartoon Making and Slogan writing) which was organized by DSLP 2014 at Bhatnagar International School. From time to time I vary my subject matter with a landscape or some surrealism art, but woman remain my true obsession.
