Seema Kadam

I have over 10 years of related work experience, and a portfolio of varied accomplishments including exhibitions, and academic achievements. I am currently doing works in – Abstract works and Photography. I am also doing workshops with students to provide them a foundation and information about a career in art.

Artist Statement:

My painting is the medium to express my inner feelings which transforms into colors and forms according to my own outlook about myself and the everyday world around me.

The transformation which time and experience produced in me also appears in my work. I remain patience when I draw I can feel the intense force of energy on spontaneous thought with its lighting speed grips me over. Although my lines, forms, color are derived from nature but still the nature comes in my own individual forms. My forms which I draw in lines are the reflection of my perception of this world. Elasticity or muscular mobility initiate innumerable forms in my thought. The small creature like earthworm moves their body, the movement of their body fascinates me. Getting outside is good for the soul. Through my art work, I try to bring the outside in. While I make no attempt to portray actual plants and animals. I do want my creations to look like they could have lived or grown somewhere. Living with beautiful objects that pay tribute to the natural world reminds us to slow down and help us to reconnect with nature.

My goals is to inspire those who see my work more carefully at the world around them to discover beauty in unusual place. I work in different medium like water color, acrylic, charcoal, pastels etc. I like to experiment with new medium.

‘’ Being an Artist, a photographer and a poet, my all art forms reflects together in every creation.”
