Pranjal Kulkarni Deo
As a mixed media artist, my work is rooted in the delicate interplay between nature’s hidden forms and the rhythms of my own emotional world. I seek not to represent nature as it appears, but rather to evoke an emotional and intuitive response to its essence. Through delicate lines, layered textures, and organic forms, I aim to capture the fleeting moments of beauty that often go unnoticed, exploring the subtle energies and rhythms that pulse through the natural world. My art is an attempt to distill nature’s delicacy and transform it into a language that connects with the soul.
Growing up, I was captivated by the transformation of leaves, from the moment they sprouted until they withered and dried. Th is process of change-the rhythm of life and decay-has always inspired me and deeply influences my artistic practice. I also found myself drawn to the intricate details of flowers, particularly the pistils, observing the variations in thickness and thinness. These observations of nature’s patterns and cycles fuel my creative process and are reflected in the subtle, layered textures and forms I create.
My work is an ongoing exploration of self-expression, a way to communicate the inexpressible. As an introverted person, I often find it difficult to share my thoughts verbally. Art has become my dialogue with the world, a way to express my innermost feelings. I start creating when my thoughts stop making sense, when the noise of the world fades, and the entire system seems to come to a standstill. It is in these quiet moments that the story begins to unfold, layer by layer, as my thoughts no longer dictate my actions. This process is endless, and I believe that the purest form of art emerges when the mind ceases its games.
My hope is that my paintings inspire viewers to look beyond the surface, to feel the beauty, wonder, and awe that nature has to offer.
