MALINI NATHAN

Having a strong passion for arts, I express myself through various mediums including acrylics, oils, pastels, charcoal compositions and resin. My penchant for travelling and backpacking has shaped my creativity over the years. Inspired by the adventurous soul, my style of artwork revolves around rough textures, sparkles and shines. I believe that as human beings, we evolve though our travels and experiences. It is a form of self-discovery. We learn from the rough patches, reflect on it and hold on to what is valuable. My passion for people and animals was reinforced through the years of travelling. My paintings consist of many layers of colours using palette knife to create rough textures and the addition of gold leaf and crushed glass. I believe in capturing the emotions, mood and feelings of people and animals using this style. Gold symbolizes what is purest and most valued in terms of human aspirations and self-discovery. The crush glass in my art creates an illusion of a mirror and is seen as a reflection of what we have learnt, making each piece an avant-garde. This unique style using palette knife is used to.
