Sonia Sabharwal
"All artistic endeavors of man are symbols through which one communicates the deep and abiding feelings, the emotions, which are beyond ordinary speech. As the writer George Bernard Shaw says - "You use a glass mirror to see your face. You use a work of art to see your soul." While ordinary people communicate through speech and simple action, an artist communicates through his symbol of forms & colour.
My painting is an endeavor of events that lie in the subconscious mind, that are etched out on my canvas giving way to forms in a very figurative style creating a mysterious aura sometimes fairy tale like, sometimes too secretive for comprehension. My paintings are centered around a story of relationships. The tenderness of the human mind, body and soul. The meeting of human and organic forms of nature. This is the story of relationship." Sonia Rodrigues Sabharwal was born in Mumbai in 1968. She obtained her Bachelors degree in Fine Art from the Goa College of Arts, Mumbai University in 1989.During her stint at college exhibited her works every year at the annual State Art Exhibitions that were hosted by the Government of Goa. Soon after her graduation, her work as an artist came to be noticed nationally, and in 1992 and 1993 she was awarded with a research grant from the Lalit Kala Academy in New Delhi to further her work and study of the history of Indian paintings. In
her short career, Sonia Rodrigues Sabharwal has prolifically exhibited
her work in group shows across the country every year, except 1999,
when she took a short hiatus from painting. She held her first solo
show at Gallery Steps in New Delhi, 1995, and there has been no
looking back for this young artist since then. Born in Bombay (1968) 1989 : B.F.A in painting, Goa College of Art, Bombay University GROUP
