Currently living in Bangalore, Pragya pursues her art and has made positive inroads into the contemporary art scene in India as well as the United States. The pristine lines of determined geometry that adorn her canvases are favored by viewers for their clean contours. Her colour palette ranges from sharp black and white contrasts to a fine merger of contiguous blends.
In this body of work you will find yourself looking at a lot of burnt oranges, teal and yellows. The imposition of a ballerina, horses, birds, fish and elephants in motion on the surface suggests a mood of well-being, harmony and lyricism.
Fascinated by the drama of opposites attracted towards each other, Pragya reveals an entirely different personality in other works, where the squared segments box in her ideas into compartmented cellular arrangements, suggesting a narrative born of questioning, statements on current trends, and the need to focus on issues in a systematic manner.
She paints subjects that stay with her after a conversation, occurrences and her travel; it’s a blend of calm and chaos. Each section represents an experience. This cluster of fragments come together to create an experience of the colors, emotions and the message that the work may wish to conveys. In her work, the elements are camouflaged, yet obvious once concentrated upon. Her brain naturally switches to abstraction and fragmentation, bringing a sense of mystery. The soul of each work varies from everything that fascinates her to anything that has stayed in her memory for years.
Nevertheless, it’s an optimistic one! She strives for her work to be vibrant, youthful and a testimony of my existence. The nucleus of her paintings is in the miracles of nature that sustain life, and evocative imagery being integrated into a vision of grace, spirituality and happiness.
“Displaying artwork is a great way to spruce up your walls, create conversation pieces and create a flow to the decor of your home.”
