Chandana Paravastu

Swirling movement, vibrant color and rich textures characterize the spiritually and culturally infused works of self-taught painter, Chandana Paravastu. Illustrating both the artist’s daily surroundings and more importantly her inner thoughts, Paravastu’s sensitive paintings reflect a deep connection to the human condition and the spiritual world. Often incorporating a personal symbolism to her beautifully balanced compositions, Paravastu meditates on universal themes: light symbolizes enlightenment and overcoming darkness, white flowers represent wisdom and peace, and emotions are portrayed with colors and ancient traditional elements, such as body art. Deep, jewel-like tones impart a sense of weight to her energetic subjects, and again the artist brilliantly imparts a tranquil balance to each majestic canvas.

Born in India, Chandana Paravastu constantly explores new and innovative techniques and styles. A lover of all art, the artist is well versed in art history and theory and currently divides her time between India and the United States.
