STAR: What is your inspiration behind
this series of paintings?
ARUNA.S: a Rich heritage of our coun-
try and day to day life, stories inspired me.
Like everybody can’t go to Ajanta to see the
cave paintings so I took Ajanta near the door
to them by painting the Ajanta cave series.
The Ajanta Caves have located in Aurangab-
ad district of Maharashtra state of India The
caves include paintings and rock cut sculptures
described as among the finest surviving exam-
ples of ancient Indian art, particularly expres-
sive paintings that present emotion through
gesture, pose and form.This inspired me to
create them using my own style.
STAR: What style of art would you
classify your work?
ARUNA.S: Basically I paint in cubic and
block style and this style became my identity
too, beside this I like semi realistic and minia-
ture art style too.
STAR: How did your artworks become
famous?
ARUNA.S: I just randomly started putting
my work on art groups on FB and ones who
liked my work suggested me to have exhibi-
tions of my artwork. So I started participating
in local art shows and workshops and once I
started getting recognition, I started having
solo and group shows in different cities.
