“Everything you can imagine is real” quoted by Pablo Picasso and followed by Falguni Arora, HFM crossed paths with this beautiful artist some time back. Neither was she the brightest nor the most sought after in school but had the spark within that hit the right shade when it came to art and design.
Journey Of Falguni Arora.
“I was brimming and bursting with ideas that were radical and contemporary at the same time,” quotes Falguni Arora!
India-US-India- The transition
Having grown up in a family with all the freedom to explore, she chose to study science as a major and moved to New York after formal education. From the morning transit hustle and dreadful long working hours, United States has been a tough grind. Yet, the beauty of the city was self-tranquilizing. Amidst the chaos she found company and the calm that resonated with her. She used to walk the streets exploring and marvelling every nook and corner which intriguingly fascinated her. But as they say, you can’t have it all … Love called her.
And then, Life Happened!
Life took its course and shaped her. With a supportive and encouraging spouse and two teens, she tried her hands as a speech-&-drama tutor and conducted Art classes as a hobby. “I always had a thing for colours and creativity,” ponders Falguni Arora. Forever teased by her friends as an impatient multitasker, she finally found her meditative haven.
THE ART of the artist!
“FINDING SANITY IN CHAOS IS WHAT PAINTING DOES TO ME”, says FA with pride. Its been four years, yet abstracts and textured art fascinates her. The time she spends creating an art work is done with emotional attachment. Art isn’t supposed to just look nice; it needs to be soul stirring. Her art pieces attract the attention of Vaastu experts, architects and designers across the globe. The work is based on the direction of the exhibit, the theme, the purpose and the basic essentials. Currently working on the project “NY Monochrome” which has been Exhibited twice at Abhivyakti and Spectrum Six, March 2022, which gave her an individuality in the said profession.
Her thoughts and actions are deeply influenced by her art and she observed a holistic transformation within. The metamorphosis from being an avid Gym Rat to a dedicated Yogi, transformed her fidgety mind to a patient and calmer one! An approach that she owes to art. This however makes it easy for her to explain the perspective of her current series.
“When we remove colours, the whole focus shifts onto the dominant colour which has the power to turn into catalyst of many emotions, visualisations and feelings. It then focuses on tone, textures, lights and other compositional elements” says Falguni.
Monochrome art has been incorporated by artists since centuries. B&W looks modern with a vintage undertone, it is ‘Timeless’, interpretative, powerful & versatile. It’s a New York City series, which is pretty much related with her past. The vibrance, perspective, chaos, intense shadows & appealing skyscrapers serve as motivation. It is rightly said by Paul Cezanne, “ART THAT DID NOT BEGIN WITH EMOTION IS NOT AN ART”.
HER NOTE TO GEN-Z
“About the millennials, who I believe as the most focused and ambitious are capable of traversing over different opportunities with ease. They are risk takers, entrepreneurs, orators and amazing collaborators. A career as a doctor or engineer is so cliché. And they use ‘social media’ as their tool. However, as a matter of fact, their inner peace is something that needs work. Physically you are fit, it’s time to focus on your tranquillity.”
As quoted by James Whistler, “An artist is not paid for his labour but for his vision”. Making your passion a profession is what makes one self-reliant and self-supporting. This conscious insight should be hunted by every human possible.
