Srujani Mohanty
I am a painter and a poet, and for me, both these expressions are deeply intertwined. My creative journey is guided by impulse?whether it’s in the form of words or paint. I write and paint whatever touches my heart, finding joy and solace in these spontaneous moments of creation. Nature has been my greatest muse, and it is in the beauty and harmony of the natural world that I find my deepest inspiration. Raised amidst trees, flowers, and gardens, my childhood is filled with golden memories of climbing trees, plucking fruits, and playing outdoors. These experiences continue to shape the way I view and depict the world.

A crucial moment in my artistic development was my visit to Japan, where the cherry blossoms and the majesty of Mount Fuji transformed my perspective. It was there that I discovered a new depth in my connection to nature and beauty, which now influences my work profoundly.

My art is realistic, striving to capture the essence of the world around me, but it is also a reflection of my inner worlda space where painting and poetry merge. I often paint the emotions and thoughts that I have written in my poems, blending my love for both mediums.

Painting allows me to grow as a person, helping me stay rooted in my humanity while experiencing spiritual elevation. It is my path to self-discovery and spiritual growth, and it is what makes me who I am.
