Minerals, 2017

Preethi Mathialagan  

I am an entirely self-taught and independent artist. Each painting is filled with my passion for life, my vision of this world, the nature, beautiful colors around me and the perception of people along with my emotions. I never knew I could adore doing something so much which would end up with a beautiful color on the canvas.

I have love for colors and I see objects as vibrant patterns, textures and palettes. For me life is a colorful and beautiful experience that is to be enjoyed to its fullest. I get into active meditation mode when I hold my paintbrush and palette. I express my emotions and visions through colors on the canvas. I love the loneliness and serenity during the creation. I try to keep the viewers mind fresh with positive energy using bright bold and beautiful color combinations. 

I create Unique Contemporary Modern Paintings with different shades of beautiful colors in my style. I work with palette knifes and brushes using heavy acrylic professional paints on primed canvas. For some details I also use my fingers to get the patterns and shades I want. Each artwork takes many days to complete. My paintings carefully blended with layers of intense hues and variation of dark/light shades with lot of textures and brush strokes. I paint almost every day to explore different color combinations, ideas and uniqueness.

I always observe the colors and textures around me. When it rains, I notice the abstract formation of water on the glass windows. I see the satellite pictures of the earth with depth and colors which is something very interesting and beautiful to eyes. I love the amazing nature so much - white mountains, green forest with great varieties of wild animals and colorful birds. The bright colored and glowing underwater coral reefs, ice burgs, the universe and galaxies, the naturally formed volcanos, beaches, Rocky Mountains and flowers with brilliant colors. It's such a magical feeling to your heart and eyes.
All the colorful experience throughout my life, Indian weddings, colorful festivals, beautiful grand outfits (especially south Indian silk sarees), Indian rich culture...I always admired and loved these colorful and beautiful things around me and wanted to experiment and enjoy the colors in my paintings which ends up as a beautiful abstract art. I don't stop until I'm satisfied and get a "wow" feeling.

My artwork 'Carefree' featured in the famous Warner Bros-NBC series 'Blindspot'

I currently live and work in Fulshear, Texas. USA.
