Biografia
Anjali believes that art, like language or music, is a medium of communication whereby the artist attempts to express her reaction to the world - nature, people, history, emotions, memories and situations. Something in each of these experiences strikes the artist as significant, poignant, moving, curious or in some way worthy of note or observation. She interprets such an aspect of reality or phenomenon and presents it through a medium or form that will best convey that significance or meaning to the viewer. If this dialogue happens, then the creation is complete.
Anjali paints in an impressionist, modern realist, expressionist style. Her works are ruminative and offer understated comment, tongue in cheek observations, or then, sometimes, quirky, ironic asides. She explores an aesthetic that interprets personal expression in its social context and presents a perspective that suggests such a construction. She would like her art to speak at various levels, to achieve a ‘layered realism’, where concrete objects stand as metaphors for an abstract idea.
She has been a witness to the sad history of Mumbai metropolis and most of her works reflect her exploration of this relation with her land and its people.
She lives, works and walks her dog in Mumbai, India.
