Sima Patel, a contemporary artist from Ahmedabad, will be presenting her solo exhibition NAARITVA at Chitrakala Parishath this week. The exhibition will showcase a striking collection of over 40 artworks, exploring the many facets of the female identity — resilient, nurturing, bold and graceful.
Sima says her painting process starts with observation — a child on a train or her teenage daughter’s silence, before they become inspiration. “I internalise these feelings, write them down, and translate them onto canvas. If it doesn’t move me, I paint over it. My canvas must speak not just with colour, but with soul.”
