My shops Name is very precious, I have been called Ruks by all, as that was my nick name given to me by my Grand mom & My Maternal Uncle, whom i loved dearly. He kept calling me an Artist, saying i am creative, this word i didn't even fathom at that tender age, but years later, during the opening of my 1st Art show, my aunt said, Today you have done your Late uncle Proud, by then My Maternal Uncle expired due to Cancer, He kept calling Me an Artist for as long as he lived......
Hence the Name ~ RuksArts.....!
Myself & Art ~ I love that special moment when you dip a brush into colors and lay it down on the canvas. Shaping colors and creating textures and spaces excites me so much. It's a magic coming from so long ago, back to when I received as a gift my first watercolor set.
It was love at first sight. Hence I knew it we'll never draw apart. But then, in school i never felt i would be a Professional Artist.
Since my first attempts, I realized how important painting was to me: it filled my afternoons, after classes, and I could create my own universe with just a glass of water and a brush. That pushed me to a Dream world, let my imaginations run.
That's that natural way I always tried to approach my art work.
The result is a relentless search for an expressive method, experimenting different art techniques and accurately selecting materials which allow my work to be unique, fine and long-lasting.
Words by Rukshana ~ I am a semi abstract visual artist, following my instincts I’ve been self-creating my own genre in charcoals, texture and acrylic on canvas. I believe that Art is the communication of knowledge and experiences.
I have used charcoal in my construct as this is where we all come from and I believe in the adage, ashes to ashes, dust to dust! We will all eventually return to where we have emerged. I am also inspired with the five elements of nature, Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Void.
I try and incorporate it in all my Art, and it forms the basis of my communication. In my mind Colors are like the rewards of life that one receives from the universe and so they are always bright and alive for me. Colors also create a sense of positive energy in contrast to the stark charcoal that I use to form the blueprint of my thoughts, from darkness to light.
I respect and embrace all feedback to my work, sometimes even I am surprised by the way people interpret things and that keeps me going. For me… It’s the journey of evolution and imagination that I’ve been blessed to have had the opportunity to experience and I’ve enjoyed it the most. My Awards are a sign of being appreciated as an Artist,( I am painting since 25 yrs) people do recognize me as a Professional Painter and am blessed to have this opportunity to express Myself through My Paintings. According to me a total cloud nine feeling is to be recognized and to be alive through My art. I feel visiting homes of Families, Friends, Collectors and seeing My works displayed there and being appreciated inspires me to create more and paint better. I feel ~ We all aspire for something, if we pursue that with all our devotion and give it time; I believe that the universe will conspire and help us create our own legacy. When that happens and the circle is complete, it’s our duty to thank the Universe for its gift.
