An Interview with Ms. Priya Mathivanan



Ms. Priya Mathivanan

Who or what inspired you to embark on your own journey in the world of arts?

Whoever sees my work, I was appreciated, so that gave me a kick to start. 

Have you studied arts or obtained formal training in it?

No, I'm self-taught. In Tamilnadu, from childhood days we put 'kolam' outside or house every day. I loved it. So that was my basic art class. 

Describe your art style.

Freestyle. I don't follow anything particular. Anything which interests me, I learn,  I do.

For how many years have you practiced your art, and have you had to overcome any hurdles on the way?

I've been doing it for the past 20yrs. I don't get the time to do more. That's my hurdle.

What memorable responses have you had to your work?  

Many have asked me to do custom pieces for their home ya offices. 

What do you aim to achieve in the future? 

Keep doing what I'm doing. Learn more about all art forms. 

Is there any specific area you now wish to explore?

Yes,  Tanjore painting. 

What would you advise youngsters inclined towards the arts?

Every individual should learn one art form. It gives you such inner peace in this stressful world. It is like meditation. Not only painting, there are so many other art forms. But do have one.

Ms. Lippi Parida Who or what inspired you to embark on your own journey in the world of arts? My mother was a good artist&looking at her draw&paint--I was inspired to draw and paint too! Have you studied arts or obtained formal training in it? Yes, I have learned the Odissi style of painting---PATACHITRA--from a national awardee---but I stopped painting patachitras because there's nothing original about them! Describe your art style. I would describe by art style as POST IMPRESSIONISTIC--somewhat like the artistic style of the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh! For how many years have you practiced your art, and have you had to overcome any hurdles on the way?

An Interview with Ms. Ritu Bhatnagar

Ms. Ritu Bhatnagar  Who or what inspired you to embark on your own journey in the world of arts? My mother has been my inspiration, my motivator, and my teacher. It was she who recognized the artist in me and encouraged and facilitated my journey in the world of arts. And now my son and my husband are also a source of constant encouragement.  Have you studied arts or obtained formal training in it? I have been a Science student with a deep inclination towards Arts. I did not take any formal training in this field. So I can say that I am a self-taught artist. Getting formal training definitely helps; but ultimately you yourself are your best teacher. If you have an artist within you, it will definitely find a way of coming out and splattering itself on canvas in front of you; you can’t hold it back for long. Practice and courage to bring your ideas alive are the key ingredients that one requires.  Describe your art style. ‘Nature’ is my choic...
