A tete-a-tete with Adeline and her father Victor Benjamin on art,music and life
Adeline may be a book worm who loves to dance and sing but her
passion for art made her join Art Fair and her parents proud. She is only 14 and loves to
work her magic with oil,pastels and strings of colours.
Q1: what is art to you Adeline? who is your inspiration?
Ans: I loved to draw from my childhood and my father influenced me
greatly.My father is great in drawings. When initially I tried drawing, it used
to be a mess so it used to upset me alot. I then used to follow my father and
his techniques.My mother seeing my interest enrolled me in an art school, there
I stared working with oil pastel and various forms and I loved the experience
and so I really love this.
Q2: How excited are you about your selection in art Fair?
Ans:I am really excited as I am still young and learning but Art
Fair is giving me a chance to interact with so many artists.It's going to be so
much fun when I meet them all and see their works.My works would be displayed
there and its going to be great.I have participated in three exhibitions
organised by my art school before but I always missed attending the
inauguration so this time I would be there well in advance.
I always love to see how people react to my paintings, it gives me
a boast.
Q3: So in that case your like very famous in your school for your
talents?
Ans: In my school I am liked because of my constant participation
in dance,singing and other activities.When it comes to paintings I am very
much appreciated for my paintings on clean and green city and everybody really
appreciates me when I win various painting competitions.
Q4: Any artist that has really touched you?
Ans: Jamini Roy and Nandalal Bose are incredibel…Jamini’s mother and child and
Ganesh..her creative lines, the eyes..are very creative..I love them..Nandala Bose
is very natural..the one painting that I like is a swan sitting warmly and the woman is
sitting beside and thinking…so I love that. So the simpler I find the art the
better I understand it.
I feel very lucky to work with artists like you, so inspiring and
guiding.
Her
father Victor Benjamin made our visit more enjoyable with his interesting anecdotes.He is the one behind Adeline's creative zeal....
"I
love art, and always wanted to take this up but couldn’t because of other
commitments….What I feel is an artist is meant to create the unimaginable. But
now what I see is most artist hanker after sale..the moment they do that a
lacuna is build between imagination and livelihood. One has to earn and it’s very
difficult for artists. An empty stomach would eventually get ruined. So what I
feel is they should earn but they should never forget to learn and carry on exploring.
I had one art teacher who wanted me to carry on with my skill..but I couldn’t continue
it. My daughter is taking this up and it makes me really happy. At this age I
feel she is doing what I felt of doing long time back."
A wonderful and imaginative child.....her works have various shades in them....she is quite good in glass paintings and criss cross works on cloths...you'll get to see her works in Art Fair 4 to be held form 26th to 30th April in Chemould Art gallery,park street..inauguration 4pm...followed by creative perofrmances...So come all and enjoy art.
Art Fair where art meets appreciators
Keep expressing..keep loving art
