2011-02-11T20:17:00.000-08:00

I am Rukshana Hooda, a visual artist ~ a simple, sensitive, human-being, in love with nature.
I love to paint with acrylics, charcoals, on canvas, thick cartridge, teak, fabric, & create various textures through interesting mediums ~ I Love nature, & simple things fascinate me, like the birds chirping, the sunrise , sunset, the skies with those wonderful hues, the trees, the horizon, & i feel this is so true, "We all live under the same sky, but our horizons differ..." I was born to become an Artist, it was my Destiny !!

Before I reached to the Modern Education System I never knew the world is divided according to Colour, Race, Religion, under the same sky, sun, moon & on the same planet !!

My Exhibition

2009-03-25T02:46:00.001-07:00

I had a recent exhibition here @ Ronak art gallery, Mumbai,
i met fellow artists, art collectors, frds from college days, well-wishers, family, loved ones....
The topic for all those 8 days was ART, GOSH......
i explained what i did, y, what got me inspired...it was a WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL WEEK, SO THAT WAS THE TOPIC, FROM TURBULENCE TO TRANQUILITY, BLISS, DAILY CHORES, TOGETHERNESS, UNISON, PEACE, A MESSEGE THAT ALL MY PAINTINGS CARRIED....
i loved it, & am delighted to do that,
loads of women here in India, do commit suicide, due to supression, lack of education, joint families, money, in-laws...etc
& i just wanted to give the messege of educating one's self, help, care, share, & to voice their opinions, so it can be like by voicing your opinion, you are helping yourself, hence helping the family, the society, & the nation by large......

A crtics anylisis

Hi ,"The Critic has to educate the Public,

The Artist has to educate the Critic" Oscar Wilde.

Well i m not that expert to comment on ur paintings but yet some angle frm my point of view ur Silhouttes of women is striking in their honesty. In their whitted simplicity , rendering cynical feel suggesting our safe havens are rarely as benign as we presume. A medic looms over an unconscious women who in her docility implies certain level of victimization, leaving one to wonder.....Ur landscape surpises me of ur potray as silver sun effect is somethig wimsical ....

Thats all keep it up!

Success always at ur footsteps
