A Kashmiri Mid-summer Day's Dream (2021) Painting by Simple Mohanty Pani

Artist's bio lines : 

     Dr Simple Mohanty's passion for art since childhood saw her trying to capture the fascinating beauty of nature- whether azure skies, the play of light and shade on foliage, or the multi-hued iridescence of flowers- on paper.

           As a creative artist she has been deeply touched by the beauty, balance, rhythm, resilience and vibrant colours of nature and natural cycles, which  find their ways of manifesting in the bustle of human life and culture as well. She is drawn towards subjects that reflect these- they could be flowers, water bodies, animals, still life or people in the midst of any or all of these. Her sujects, are therefore, organically connected to nature. She tries to capture on canvas the very soul, vitality and life force of the subjects, whose beauty moves her.

         It is this passion which enables her to juggle painting with her teaching career. She is a doctorate and an Assistant Professor in Political Science in a Delhi University college. Starting with water colours, her first love due to the translucency of the medium, she has found it equally exciting to venture into oils, acrylics and  pencil on canvas, at ease with both brush and spatula. The subject, style and strokes of her works are closest to the impressionistic & expressionistic genres, although rooted in representationalism. She has been part of several group art shows in Delhi & Jaipur including the International Lalit Kala Mela, at Lalit hotel's Art Junction, Open Palm Court Gallery, IHC, AIFACS, CSOI art gallery, Light Space & Time online Gallery and RPR gallery
