Landscape art is the depiction in art of landscapes, natural scenery such as mountains, valleys, trees, rivers, and forests, and especially art where the main subject is a wide view, with its elements arranged into a coherent composition. In other works landscape backgrounds for figures can still form an important part of the work. Sky is almost always included in the view, and weather is often an element of the composition. Detailed landscapes as a distinct subject are not found in all artistic traditions, and develop when there is already a sophisticated tradition of representing other subjects. I am an aware, concerned and involved human being of the society. My subject matter comes from my Himachal Pradesh visit. My work has a colourful sky always and I always trying to give it a painting form not as scenery. My paintings have layers n my paintings imbibe Indian cultural identity and global culture identity. I want to make identity of my and the beauty of this beautiful world by my work but there is many problems come in the way of expressions.

Life in metropolitan cities has its own logic. Sometimes, we fellow it, sometimes we break it to evolve our own logic to survive & create.

Here itself, in the process of these actions our person creativity takes place. Stillness around us & massive noise pollution create a sense of rearrangement of self & our

creative self. We are all working in our Studios to create, inspired by our experiences in life.

We are not members of a formal group. We meet nearly every day to discuss our daily ethos, experiences & evolving thoughts. We share, we care, but we are

ourselves. We care for others & that is sufficient for us to be our self & for creative visual expression.

I am an aware, concerned and involved human being of the society. My subject matter comes from day to day life. I observe young girls achieving woman hood and their goals and ambitions with our surroundings and the emerging global environment.If, I go through the history I observe that in the earlier time painters selected their subjects from the history they used to make female portraits of royal families and goddesses mostly. These were accepted and admire by the kings and rich society….but now with the change of time different painting philosophy brought different styles, I may be one of them, I have started to explore and evolve woman faces, emerging after imbibing contemporary society’s style of living and fashion directions. The human faces in my paintings reflects the environment in which, the society surrounding me is proceeding. I express with added painting requirements and professionalism. I feel that every woman has her own glamour and feminine quality with different shades of colour. I have shown a common lady as a model in my works she has her on style and colour. The treatment of colour makes social comment .soft pastels on paper and canvas drawing exploit the sensibilities.In our Indian philosophy Lotus has many meanings. It’s a symbol of purity. Lotus grown in muddy water but always remain above the surface of water and untouched by dirty water, the lotus is soft and strong like a my model woman…..My paintings imbibe Indian cultural identity and global culture identity.ANJUM KHAN [email protected]
