STAR : What artists inspire you .What is the source of inspiration.
ANUJA.S: My work has drawn an inspiration from Madhubani paintings. Its bright colours
attracted me. Madhubani painting has origin from the place called Mithila region of India and
Nepal. Painting are usually done with fingers, twigs, brushes, nib-pens, and matchsticks, using
natural dyes and pigments .They have unique and decorative too. Mostly geometrical patterns
and symbolic characters are used particularly depicting the ritualistic and traditional culture of
India ,such as birth or marriage, and festivals, such as Holi, Kali Puja, Durga Puja and other
importants aspects of our tradition .I am drawn to the indian tradition and felt the subject and
style stimulating enough to explore further .
STAR: What are you working on now,
and what are your plans for the fu-
ture?
ANUJA.S: I am working on black and
white designs now. In future, I want to cre-
ate more attractive and inspiring works with
bright colors and also natural pigments.I wish
to experiment with colors and develop more
beautiful designs.
