PALAK MODI. Her artworks created in different mediums — from acrylic and linocut prints to foliage and cement. Her artworks display an array of eclectic painting styles in different mediums. The overarching theme of her work is contemporary - abstract. Her works are reflections of the rudimental forms of nature, inviting the viewer to move into a space of speculation, perhaps unexplored territories. The organic forms she tries to capture in her art intend to create intriguing cycles of thoughts, allowing the onlooker to challenge one’s perceptions and assumptions. With a passion for art running through her veins from an early age, she seeks to pour out her fantastical ideas with a palette that stretches far beyond mere paint. Looking for avenues of the unexpected, the use of materials in her works is calculated and is greatly influenced by their subject matter. Besides using traditional painting styles, she incorporates heavy doses of mixed media including jute, coal, ash, marble, and wax in her artworks.
