Vasu

@artistvtolia

Visual art is Vasu’s passion in retirement following a very successful career in medicine. She depicts women in different roles and paints representational and/or abstracted subjects from humanity, nature and ecology. Vasu uses vibrant colors and shapes on images using alterations/abstractions with acrylic, mixed media and charcoal. Her works are in many private collections. Vasu loves to create new themes of works and writes free verse and ekphrastic poetry. She has participated in over 50 local, regional, national and international group shows and won many awards. Vasu paints a broad range of subject matter including nature, still life, figure, abstract and landscape painting. She tries to capture the essence of her interest with a wow factor. Her creations express a sense of light, atmosphere and mood as she presents that moment in her artwork. She uses photographs as an initial resource, however, with a change in perspective, additions, subtractions - the final outcome has no resemblance to the original start. Her artwork is invited for Lifestyle items by a gallery in Montreal. She was bestowed Artist of the Future Award by the Contemporary Art Curator Megazine in Nov 2020. She has received seven awards already in 2021 including a best of show award and being a Featured Artist on JManegallery from April until 6/21.
