Art Exhibition: Meet the artist Rohitha and some of her works..

Welcome all to the art exhibition.

Rohitha is my colleague at SAP Labs, team mate at Read India Foundation and a great artist! I knew her as an artist but when I witnessed her masterpieces during the photo-shoot, I was full of joy :) I was even more stunned when I heard she came up with these master-pieces in a span of just 4 years while working on them over weekends only (apart from other interests that she gets busy with). I am now terribly inspired in fine arts ;) I am sure you too will, after seeing these beautiful paintings.

This is the first time I did photo-shoot of paintings and it was quite a challenging experience. Had to try a lot of different locations to avoid glare on the glass frame but yet retain good uniform lighting from the natural source. It was also a challenge to avoid angular distortions. Nevertheless, it was hard to achieve zero distortions which I then partially corrected using editing tools. I must say that I got to learn a lot about such a photo-session.

For all my non-Indian friends: Ganesh is one of the most famous Indian Gods. His baby like features with the head of an elephant makes him look adorable. He is very widely worshipped as the God of wisdom, fine arts and good fortune.

I pray God for love and peace, the most essential elements for one's existence and which are missing in today's world!

Soap carving of a baby elephant

I found a bar of useless soap while I was cleaning my room. I felt like doing some creative stuff before throwing it away. I then got an idea of carving on it and I carved this baby elephant out. Once I finished it, I was quite surprised as I had never done this before. This is indeed very interesting and would love to do more such sculptures...
