Art portal ventures into new physical gallery space in Delhi

An exhibition of works by two women artists marked the opening of a brand new gallery space of an online art portal, which hosts works over 150 Indian artists, and offers a range of "affordable" artworks for everyday home and office decor.
An exhibition titled "The Essence of Woman" bringing together two artists with different stylistic approach, marks the innagural show of the Artfairie Gallery, which opened here recently to coincide with International Woman's Day.
Artist Vibha Singh, who has been painting for over 20 years and has held numerous shows in India and abroad believes in going by the rule book when it comes to painting.

"I first plan my painting then try to put my imagination on paper. The imagination of the painter must reflect on the canvas. Shiva Shakti is my favourite panting as I get a spiritual vibration from making it," says Vibha.
Vibha who usually paints in oil colours turned to arcylics for the show.
"Acrylics is a bit difficult medium to use in beginning, but once you get the hold it is easy to use and the colour gives vibrancy to the painting," she said.

Vibha, who holds a masters in political science says she draws inspiration from real life.
While Vibha looks at nature and the outside as her muse the other artist Srividya GS looks within," says Annie Mathai, who has curated the exhibtion.

Srividhya G S who had been painting for some time says "It's never the form that attracts me. It's the feeling that you get when you look at the flower or the colour. I used my figures to paint the flower in jacarandas as it goes direct from my soul to the painting. Whenever I paint every painting has a bit of my soul," says Srividhya GS.
