Neeti Aggarwal Contemporary Artist
In the words of Thomas Merton, ‘Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time’.
I am a financial researcher and consultant by profession and MBA & CFA by education. In the early chapter of my life, I focused on my professional education and building my corporate career. Yet I was always passionate about art. Since childhood, Painting is akin to meditation for me, allows me to rediscover myself and creating art gave me immense personal gratification.
Initially, I was a self-taught artist for several years but to provide technical backing to my creative vigour, I completed three years ‘Diploma in Fine Arts’ in 2011 from a private institute in Delhi. There has been no looking back for me since then. I gave up a well-established full-time career to pursue my passion and have held numerous solo and group exhibitions over the last ten years.
I try to thread meaningful messages, an aura of positive vibes and pleasing aesthetics in my paintings. Most of my creations come with a composition that gives a feeling of self-content and peace. I constantly endeavour to work on different themes and each idea manifests in its own individual style.
I like to work with mixed media in layers to create a visual depth and interplay of light and colour. Often my paintings are a blend of abstract and figurative, expressing invisible depths of human emotions, thoughts and feelings that I believe are spiritual and transcendental. With each painting, I strive to innovate and express a unique thought, frequently associated with love, relationships, strengths and karmas and their changing facets with passage of time.
My love for travel has taken me across numerous countries and continents. I have also had the opportunity to live not only across different cities in India but also overseas. The experience of myriad forms of nature, culture and values often bears traces in my works, though almost all my paintings find their roots in strong Indian value system and beliefs.
