Sydney based palette knife artist
Artworks: 77
Indian born, Sydney based visual artist Anjana Rai is a passionate creator, whose reverence for Mother Nature radiates from every corner of her canvas. Foregoing the use of the paint brush in favour of the palette knife , she layers thick portions of oil paints, in a technique known as impasto , to devise impressionistic depictions of florals , landscapes and seascapes. While typically beginning with a basic concept of an image or a scene , her works are primarily the a union between the external environment and her internal responses.
Breaking with the tradition of depicting fine details , she embraces a free flowing, unrestrained style that allows her the independence that is necessary to experiment with the colour portrayal, textured curves, angles and edges. Visualizing her work in three- dimensional space, she utilizes that view, as well as her innovative artistry, to construct works that showcase the glory of nature, as perceived from her unique cultural and creative perspective.
Since 2019, Anjana’s works have appeared in numerous art shows , galleries and group exhibitions. She is currently featured in private collections in various states and territories throughout Australia, India, France, U.S.A and South Korea.
