Aparna never understood her undying thirst for colors…the dead black of the charcoal ,the contagious laughter of colors…the blank spaces..the unspoken and the bounty of nature… they beckoned her to come to them , weave a story…. Life unfolds itself as a mystery…sometimes colorful and pleasant and at times melancholic…. an inspiration , a thirst for more. ..the feeling of incomplete…the essence of a void..The missing, the questions unanswered…. The desires unfulfilled.

The crevasses and the upheavals as they find a way to remain omnipresent. The anxieties and disappointments and accomplishments and joys residing and submerging in harmony but leaving a void yet again. The need to breathe, to live and not just survive. The need to shout and scream in the dead of silence.

All these emotions contribute significantly to her form of art. The textured surfaces, as life has been, beauty in every nook and corner..Be it in the colors or in the dark…as the emotions and colors blend into one another…she finds herself embalmed.
