Kruti Shah

Nature and architecture fascinate me and intensify my passion to create. My admiration of architectural wonders by Antonio Gaudi and Frank Lloyd Wright and satin glass designs by Louis Tiffany, has led me to explore intricate geometrical designs in my work.

Inks, acrylics, canvas and paper are the tools that enable me to reach my goal. Each painting has its own individual character that makes it unique and non repeatable, and depicts a dialogue between my medium and my self. As if the colors have a mind of their own, they either blend into each other or sometimes dissect the painting into dimensions that create a colorful kaleidoscope.

Painting for me is passion unleashed to create a spark of connection with the world around me.
