Savia Mahajan's art

There is a quality of whimsy and fantasy in all of Savia Mahajan's work. I have been looking at her website & drooling on the pics for many months now & today morning I finally picked up the phone & met the person. Savia feels for beauty & every word she spoke just attested to that one fact. As does each piece of her work. "There is so much chaos & materialism around us & each day we are bombarded with so much negativity, that somewhere we miss out on the beauty that lives in the small & simple things in our life, like the beauty of a dragonfly. My work is an attempt at capturing that beauty & in a way restoring it for people to see."

This is the main page of her website, just look at the each of the elements & how beautifully & intricately & crazily it comes together. There is so much love in this picture. (Do click on this picture to see it all its glorious detail. )
She plays with colour and pattern......And nature & its elements are beautifully captured

I love her sense of colour & design


Check that headdress with the waxing & waning moon

Peacock feather motifs

Dots as pattern, she has just had so much fun!


Love the neutral muted colours on this one

Savia Mahajan's beautiful womenThere is a world of detailing in each painting. And as Savia puts it "You look at a painting in your home & its beauty should grown on you."
Savia was great to speak with and has infectious energy. And she has some amazing projects that are coming up including a book and 2 series of paintings she is working on. I'll be sure to write about them when they happen :)

Wow, I just stumbled upon this blog searching for something and saw Savia's Paintings which left me completely enamoured and in awe. Her paintings are truly amazing...there's so much simplicity in the intricacy...looks like she sees things around her with a child's heart.

I have no knowledge on art and paintings...but i have a gut feel her paintings are cut out for the world market simply because they are so original and one of its kind... she can be really big if someone discovers her..just like she discovers the vibrant bugs and butterflies hidden in nature and celebrates their beauty on canvas...
Cheers Vineeta...great find
