The unspoken
connections
Manasi Menon is a self-taught artist based in Ban-
galore, although she is professionally an architect
her first love always has been art.She first started
experimenting with oil on canvas a few years ago
and then made a transition to acrylics. Recently she
started dappling with wall paintings.
“The large canvas of the wall motivates
me to explore styles that I may have never done
otherwise.
I find inspiration for my art through the unspoken
connections between people, places, and traditions.
During my travels whenever I find myself still with
a stare I know it’s time to find my canvas and let
go”. She Says.
Manasi continues to look at the connection
between the human habitat and the natural
world with her latest paintings.She subtly
hints the relation between routine to natural
scenery and also tells us about the delicate,
yet strong connectivity between the human
and an animal.
While at first glance Manasi surprises us with
her bold usage of colors but at closer inspec-
tion, there is an unexpected depth beneath
the bright, energetic palette – something that
feels both timeless and fleeting. Her paintings
compellingly seem to talk and I couldn’t resist
talking to her and finding some interesting
facts behind this young progressive thinker.
