NOSTALGIA IN THE RAIN @ Leela Kempinski, Galleria Leela, Andheri East, Mumbai 400059. India.
The Monsoons have a charm of its own, being my Favourite season .
The rain drops falling gives birth to the sprouting of seeds, the beginning of Life, hence, new Beginings, the mystical breeze, the smell of damp mud, the tiny puddles, watching children play, in the rain, at the beach, the river-side, near a river bank, watching the peacock dance, women carrying pots of water, busy with their daily chores, the stunning shades melting & merging in the sky & me watching this Magical Romantic Awesome Season which is so thrilling, I decided to capture it on my Canvas…
ABOUT THE PAINTINGS. There is a series from ~ “Stop Animal & Bird Abuse and Cruelty! Save the Rare species series, Preserve Nature. “ & here is displayed a stylised Peacock Feather, These beautiful birds dance in the rain, showing their colourful feathers, hence this brings to mind a Rain-dance, the Peacock Dance, & the droplets on the feathers . A Fusion of Vibrance of the most Awesome colours in Nature.
The composition of bright colours, bring in positive energy, each colour depicting various moods, as cheerfulness, energy, vigor,(Yellow) serenity, spirituality,(Violet & Purple) Warmth, (Orange) Adventure (Red) Abundence (Green) Peace & Tranquility (White) Passion & Beauty (Pink) Calmness (Blue) gold (wealth) & I also show copper, bronze (Mother earth) as we all owe something in return, our being is a Blessing, we cherish Life, we are indebted for this Tremendous Gift, a responsibility towards ourselves, our families, & society, so it is necessary to save our enviournment & this is the hidden message for all of us ..
Lines by a Famous Fenshui expert Aaron Shuichi Wong : Hanging this (peacock feather) in the house is believed to chase out negative energy.

My Recent Exhibition @ Kohinoor Continental, Mumbai, India

I am Rukshana Hooda, a visual artist ~ a simple, sensitive, human-being, in love with nature. I love to paint with acrylics, charcoals, on canvas, thick cartridge, teak, fabric, & create various textures through interesting mediums ~ I Love nature, & simple things fascinate me, like the birds chirping, the sunrise , sunset, the skies with those wonderful hues, the trees, the horizon, & i feel this is so true, "We all live under the same sky, but our horizons differ..." I was born to become an Artist, it was my Destiny !! Before I reached to the Modern Education System I never knew the world is divided according to Colour, Race, Religion, under the same sky, sun, moon & on the same planet !!
