Categories: Original Artworks and Travel Stories
This is one of my initial abstract artworks. It was inspired after my road-trip across 1/3 rd. of Canada. That is saying quite much- since Canada is the second largest country in the world!! You can read the full travel-story here…
But, when I got back from this trip- there was something so enthralling about the magnificent Prairies with its tall grass- looking golden-green in the bright rays of the mid-day May sun, that I decided to capture its essence- which I feel is easier done in Abstract art, where there is the gap between the artist’s creation and the viewer’s interpretation- and that gap can hold the true essence of that work.
It can be the divine space, where two people can look at the same art and completely feel two separate things about the same work!

This painting here tries to capture the essence of the beautiful Prairies of Manitoba in summer along with the wild jungle-paths thru Ontario.
It is made using acrylic paints with sgraffito painting technique- no brush… only fingers and knives!
Though sgraffito technique is typically used for pottery and ceramics, I have used the similar principles for creating this abstract artwork.
