Just Lines Blossoms
24th January 2023 Mr Mani Menon We needn’t go to a park or a garden or a park to see flowers. They’re all around us. We get to see them in the unlikeliest of places too! Here in Chennai where I live, women invariably wear a ‘gajra’ (garland) of fragrant multicoloured flowers in their…

Just Lines Vrish
24th January 2023 Mr Mani Menon Trees are such fascinating creations indeed! It’s not just on account of their soothing verdant presence nor the welcome shade they offer from the hot sun or a sudden downpour. That a tree is an entire ecosystem by itself escapes most of us! It produces flowers and…

Cheerleaders
14th January 2023 Mr Nandakumar I painted these flowers, commonly found everywhere, as I feel happy seeing their vibrant colours. It made me think; we all need cheerleaders in our lives, right? These flowers are named Nasturtium, which means nose twister. I thought that was funny. But the original meaning of this name…
Choose your Role
14th Jan 2023 Ms Kala Pohl Someone asked me once; why my paintings don’t have people in them. I just want to create the scene. You get to choose the role you play in it, and who you play it with. It’s not my story, it’s yours. Painted on the iPad…
Happy New Year
14th January 2023 Ms Kala Pohl Happy New Year Another new year begins, and I’m grateful. We don’t get to choose our family, our upbringing, whether we see the cup half full or empty. So, I often think about how fortunate I am that I see the world as a benevolent place. That most…
Happy 2023
