Meetu Garg
I am largely a self-taught artist from India, based in Dubai. As a child, I was always fascinated by the colors. I found my friends in those colors and played with them on paper, slowly setting them in definite shapes and boundaries. My passion got flair when I got the chance to participate and showcase my work at different levels in school and college. The love for painting was always alive even as I pursued graduation in Civil Engineering.
Art has been my constant companion, shouldering me through the ebbs and flow of life. Adoption of yoga, meditation, reiki, and Himalayan Kriya gave me a different perspective of viewing and admiring the world around me. The ages-old techniques have provided a mindset to find limitless inspiration in the simplest of things. There is an inner zeal to reflect this in the form of art.
Today I feel blessed to have an opportunity to work as a full-time artist. I keep experimenting with all the colors, mediums, styles and subjects. I hope to keep exploring myself and the world around me as the eternal journey continues.
Artist statement: “My paintings will take you to a place where only peace resides”
