Aparna Banerjee

Being an artist was not a calculated move, it was compulsive. I was drawn to it like a magnet. Never understood the undying thirst for colors.  I did not comprehend the intrinsic desire to splurge in colors. 

I was born and brought up in New Delhi in a joint family.  I shared great bonding with my father who was the first admirer and critic of my art. It was his appreciation that kept me going. I would keep a painting ready for him almost every day and just wait for his soothing observations.  His words calmed and encouraged me .

I accomplished my schooling with 82% and then got an opportunity to study at the very prestigious Jesus and Mary College where I did my Honors in English. My interest in art and fashion was acknowledged here. I was often asked for suggestions and advice. Subsequently, I did my college diploma in fashion designing from International Institute of Fashion Technology and then Fashion marketing and merchandising from National Institute of Fashion Technology. I got myself enrolled for an M.B.A. degree in marketing through distance education from IMT. I do read a lot. Art never ceases to intrigue me. I spend all my extra hours studying art. I do extensive research on the net, in museums, books, magazines, and from real life .I don’t really idolize any particular artist or school of thought. My school of thought is expression of the mind and soul no matter how or where. I specialize in the abstract female form, textures and the play of colors. I like the sculptural form too and try to incorporate that in my work. I love to work with textures and effects and find it overwhelming when an artwork gets finished. It’s like the birth of a child.

I work with acrylics the most and love the charcoal effect, a lot is mixed media. I create various layers and tones with different mediums and colors. I, also, at times use discarded elements in my work ranging from metal, wood, glass or more natural ones like fabrics, wood, branches or leaves and sand.

Have more than 40 solo and group, national and international shows to my credit. I have learnt to teach myself the various techniques, forms and mediums through various experiments. As a woman in modern India, I have dignity, security and convenience. But I also have concerns, fears and a voice which I express from time to time. My Art is a reflection of all that I enjoy as a woman and also fear.
