In today's society women do not have a very prominent role as there male counterparts. Women are looked at very differently. People see them as weak in heart and afraid of doing things in a forceful manner. Female child has been treated inferior to male child and this is deeply engraved in the mind of the female child. A male child is considered a blessing and his birth is celebrated as opposed to female child where her birth is not celebrated and is considered more of a burden.

Why? Women are people too.

My this artwork "Born to Live" is based on women and I wanted to convey the message to everyone that they(women) have the right to live their life as they want because 'she' a woman is a human being too.

It is not easy to put into words a feeling and a problem that women find harder to talk about than almost anything. Essentially, this feeling or problem is a strange stirring, a yearning, a search that is going on in the minds of women. This is not easy to put into words because those women who struggle with it struggle alone, afraid to admit that they are asking themselves the silent question "Is this all?"

She may spends years, working out her 'adjustment to the feminine role.' She may have many things to say she cannot describe. And an inner voice may say, "That's not it." A women may live half her lifetime before she has the courage to listen to that voice and know that it is not enough to be a wife and mother, because she is a human being herself. She has to find her own fulfillment first.

No women knows where her search for self-fulfillment will take her. No women starts that search today without struggle, conflict, and taking her courage in her hands.

Who knows what women can be when they finally are free to become themselves?

There is a message for all the women reading this.

Be who you are. Do not ever feel stressed about having a dual responsibility of family and work. It is difficult, but not impossible. Tell yourself you are beautiful, do your best and deserve a peaceful life. Anybody trying to take that away from you is making a mistake, not you. Your purpose of coming to this earth is not to please everyone. Your purpose is to offer what you have to the world, and have a good life in return. You are born to live, not to die.

Acrylics Painting ~ Light Through Darkness

"MIRACLES START TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU GIVE AS MUCH ENERGY TO YOUR DREAMS AS YOU DO TO YOUR FEARS."

This artwork of mine is an abstract. I generally get inspire by nature and things around me and try to depict the hardships/sorrows and happiness of life through a combination of color, texture and patterns.

I have done this painting to motivate people and to explain that in our life there are phases - dark and bright, sad and happy. The essential nature of being alive and being human is to experience life in its purest form - the win and losses, celebrations and challenges, and the good with the bad.

"LIFE IS IRONIC. IT TAKES SADNESS TO KNOW WHAT HAPPINESS IS, NOISE TO APPRECIATE SILENCE AND ABSENCE TO VALUE PRESENCE."
- DAVID AVOCADO WOLFE

Some of these experiences are not favourable. We might be in pain physically or emotionally - we hurt. Often we feel betrayed by life itself, we feel it is unfair and question why we have to go through these struggles. We surround ourselves with negativity. When we come face to face with a struggle, a low point in life, be it an illness, a relationship breakdown or financial ruin, at the time we are lost in darkness. We feel darkness all around us and no light shinning through. We lose all hope.

But we should not forget that darkness has always a light behind it which will destroy it some time. When every door closes, there is always one door opened for us.

WINSTON CHURCHILL once said- "SUCCESS IS NOT FINAL. FAILURE IS NOT FATAL. THE COURAGE TO CONTINUE IS WHAT COUNTS."

Through darkness comes light, through fear comes love and through pain comes triumph. This is the triumph of the human spirit, it is not in a selected few, it is in every one of us. Your struggles and hardships are your gifts so that you can reach deep down inside of yourself and discover your inner power and the glory of who you are. The common saying "WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER" has a very profound truth in it.

    "LIFE IS A SERIES OF NATURAL AND SPONTANEOUS CHANGES. DON'T RESIST THEM - THAT ONLY CREATES SORROW. LET REALITY BE REALITY. LET THINGS FLOW NATURALLY FORWARD IN WHATEVER WAY THEY LIKE."
- LAO TZU

When you are in the dark place looking for a way out of your hardships, you are faced with two choices: give up or come through it stronger. You can assume the victim role and feel sorry for yourself or you can reach into the essence of who you are and find your inner strength. You need to believe you can do this. You are powerful. So believe yourself, be strong, be fearless and have positivity which will turn into light in the darkness of negativity and will make you stronger. Remember there is always a light behind darkness. Everything you need will come to you at the perfect time. Have hope and faith and destroy the darkness of your soul.

   " TO TRUST IN THE FORCE THAT MOVES THE UNIVERSE IS FAITH. FAITH IS NOT BLIND, IT IS VISIONARY. FAITH IS BELIEVING THAT THE UNIVERSE IS ON OUR SIDE, AND THAT THE UNIVERSE KNOWS WHAT ITS DOING."

Nature ~ My Inspiration

I' not a writer, I'm an artist and being an Artist the first thing that comes to my mind is Art.
God is the apex artist. Nature I believe is the most astonishing art of the God. Its fascinating shapes and alluring colors are an inspiration to every artist. I am an admirer of the mother nature, it instructs me to decorate a unburdened canvas, to burden it with blee of beauty, feelings, emotions and desires.
Everything in nature is evident to the senses and has the great artistic talent and creativity. It has a charm, a magical power to heal the evilness of the undesirable darkness and gloomiest sorrows.


Nature is my inspiration, it fills me with the varied emotions and Art is my feelings and emotions which I express by filling a canvas through colors. For me it is a healing power which heals my mind and soul in this world full of negativity. As nature is beautiful and full of aesthetic colors, I as an artist try to bring colors in people's life and provide them a beautiful sight with the power hidden inside me, the power to wake up the desires of dying hearts.
