Product Description
Nirakar’s love for his abstract depictions of nature and animals is very evident
in all of his work, using them as the subject of most of his works, he gives his
paintings his own twist, with an element of cubism, that the attributes to his
inspirations, Braque and Picasso.
Growing up surrounded by a family of artists, Nirakar has always aspired to
be an artist himself. “My art journey started from when I was just a child, at that time
I focused on art rather than on my studies.” Since grandfather was my biggest
inspiration.
Even though I do not use a fixed colour palette for my work, I use different
brush strokes for different parts of my paintings. I create smooth, vertical gradients
in the geometric shapes, for the background, to help establish a base for the
paintings. The backgrounds are usually pastel type shades and seldom interfere
with the subjects that are usually more vibrant in nature. Playing with light and dark
shades of colour, creating highlights and shadows, to depict the time of day, or
setting in general. For his fauna (usually the subject of my paintings,) I opt for
textured brush strokes to have them remain as the subtle focal points, mixing a few
saturated colors, to create depth.
.
While talking about my technique, “before painting always keep my
compositions ready, after which I put colour shades- block by block, on the
background. After completing the background I draw sharp lines and convert them
into shapes and fill the colour.” And also uses tape to ensure that the lines remain
sharp and precise.
