Smita draws inspiration from within the throes of culture, as visible in her elaborate art pieces. Beautiful and timeless structures of the past have always been a source of fascination for her and her paintings reflects the creativity and skill of our ancestors. Her work illustrates a balanced blend of a myriad of colors that evoke diverse moods among the audience. Smita Jain hails from the city of Ara in Bihar. Her ancestral home is imprinted in her memory along with the vision of her grandfather bent over the water colour paintings he used to work on day and night. An avid traveller, each trip, within India or to foreign shores, has helped her with building a style of architectural abstraction where the landscapes/cityscapes she paints capture not just the architecture but also the atmosphere of the location. Through her acrylic paintings, she tells stories that she thought she heard while there in person. The vibrant colours reflect the life and the vivacity of the space without showing any human or animal figures in the compositions.
