26th January 2023 Mr Mani Menon I needed some coloured embroidery threads for an artwork that I was making. I emptied the contents of a plastic cover onto the table. And gasped! The threads had come unravelled from their skeins and had merrily mingled together! Pulling the strands apart was a back-breaking task,…

Magical Moments
26th January 2023 Mr Mani Menon Years ago, when I had worked as a Medical Representative in Trivandrum, in Kerala, my work took me to Nagercoil, situated in Tamil Nadu. As I rode my Bullet motorcycle, I would look forward to a stunning sight a mere 10 kilometres from Nagercoil. That was my thrill…
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…

Black and White
18th January 2023 Dr Mani Menon I introduce Mr Mani Menon, a self-taught artist, who has been inspired by pen. He used Micron pens of varying sizes to create this beautiful picture of flowers. Though we are used to seeing colour, I find a certain charm in black and white that speaks volumes about…
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…
