Rashmi Rekha’s paintings depict her interpretation of the social landscape of the world around her. “I am always in search of different ways to tell a story on the canvas and to express human behavior the way I experience it,” she says. “I draw inspiration from social issues, novels and movies. I use the expressive qualities of the human face and gesture and use these elements to create a visual story that sparks the curiosity and imagination of viewers of all ages.”
Reflections of Time, oil on canvas, 36 x 24"Rekha’s art is bold and colorful, yet easily accessible. She uses simple forms to depict her human figures, along with a wealth of color to express the depth of her themes and to create a moving narrative. “My process of painting is expressive and rather visceral,” she says. “I sketch my ideas anywhere, anytime, as the thoughts come. I paint in oil, acrylic and mixed media with wax and watercolors. I enjoy exploring different media.”
