The Journey of Artists.....Featuring Art Fair 4 Young Talents.....Simran Mishra

The Journey of Artists of Art Fair.......a rendezvous of art, in conversation with the talented Simran Mishra with Sufia Khatoon

The Blending Dusk

“When the Sun rose

Twilight ignited the horizon,

The lover birds awaken to the morning’s glory,

Dancing to the melody in a rhythmic trance,

And sang songs of Nature’s beauty and hue,

Blending dusk with the colours of love.”

-S.k

 "I met Sufia di during one of art sessions, It is really a thrill knowing such a multi talented person. I really look up to Sufia di as she has always helped me and been polite. Her humble and caress behavior is rare and I am glad to learn from her."-Simran Mishra

 Tell us something about your self, your school days and how art happened to you?

My name is Simran Mishra and I am a class 12 passout. Art came to when I was a kid, my father being good at sketching and art used to do my school work for art and craft. I remember getting fascinated by how he used to do it, coming up with new ideas and always making my work the best. I used to make drawings with my cousins in free time because (thank god) there were no cell phones in my time. My elder sister-cousin was the best at art in our family and while she was showing one of her works to the family members.. I wondered to myself, "If she can do it. Why can't I?" thus, my quest of becoming a better artist started. I used to take up the job of doing decorations in my class and other sorts of things that included art. As they say 'practice makes perfect', I started being recognized throughout the school for my skills even though I was raw. I have never learnt drawing by a teacher until the end of 2014 when I decided to join Birla Academy for Art and Culture as it had been almost 2 years since I had drawn something. The time I spent at the academy was a blessing because every time I went there for a class, I found peace within myself, art gives me peace.

This is your first time in Art Fair? How expectant are you about the whole thing?

Yes, this is my first time at Art Fair, infact it is my first exhibition. As it is my first exhibition I am not very expectant. I am only trying to buy more experience and enjoy my time here.

What are you painting now? What subjects to like to work on?

I am focusing more on water colouring and acrylic as I don't want to take much risk though I am trying out mixed media and other forms which I have been picking up from the internet.

 Have you been following any artist?

As I earlier said that I am new to the exhibition field, I don't really know many artists. My sole tutor right now is the internet.

What is art for you? What are your likes and dislikes?

As anyone would say, painting is a dying field, you can either be a hit or the biggest flop. Many painters try to hang themselves in the middle of these two to be on the safer side. I just want to tell each and every painter to be proud of themselves because not everyone out there has a vision, but you

Your message for your artist friends in Art fair 4

For me, Art is a pathway from your soul to the outside world, it is a way of obtaining inner peace. As I have observed, people like to buy abstract paintings more than the others. Even though abstract is the most popular form of art I don't really like it as it seems to me as blank as the mind of the painter. For me, a painting is not complete unless it has a figure. I really like realistic paintings, paintings that make me wonder if they are photographs or paintings are my favorite as it shows the true talent these painters possess, the amount of effort they put forward in achieving perfection.

Painters and Writers, as I always say, are God's own creation. They are the eye of the society. There vision is an event and there existence, divine.
