Raman’s canvas is free from blight of isms
“Art is a path of creativity and dynamics, acting as a guide and tool to express and channel our innermost feelings,” says painter Raman
Miglani. A teacher by profession, Raman has been teaching art, craft and painting to kids of Bhavan Vidalaya, Panchkula, for the past 11 years, from 1994, since the inception of school.
She feels education alone cannot help in the all-round development of a child’s personality. A variety of subjects may aid in developing various facets of our personality. But they are mostly materialistic in nature as only art can help in exploring the spiritual and emotional side of our nature. Her paintings are free from isms and influences and do not conform to any school of thought or trends. “I paint what appeals to me and not what are the current or prevalent trends. My paintings are impressions of my emotions and of life all around,” says Raman. Her ouvere includes a wide variety of themes and styles, including landscapes, abstract, portraits, collages. She uses oils, water colours, pastels with equal dexterity though oils remain her favourite. She prefers bright and pure colours, preferably oils. Her paintings are marked by purity of form and figure using traditional techniques. Human forms, depicted in her paintings, have been painted with authoritative strokes, showing a three-dimensional effect. The concept of God as a supreme being and purity of soul surfaces in most of her paintings because she feels a simple living and high thinking takes you to the path to God keeping your soul young and fresh and free from the evils all around you. One of her paintings show the journey of soul after it emerges out of the supreme being as pure streak of bright yellow light but is putrefied by evils of world in its passage through life. In another painting the flowers which have offered to god have a pure and bright sheen while those lying aside have withered. Although she has tried her hand at collages and murals she does not consider them a pure form of art. Rather it is more of catering to the demands of a consumerist culture than painting for the sake of art. Raman, who did her postgraduation in fine arts in 1979 from Government College, Hoshiarpur, says every phase of life has its own priorities. So after her marriage in 1980 the next 14 years were devoted to family and children. But after her hibernation as a wife and mother, the artist in her roared back to life with a vengeance. The colours started splattering on to the canvass with a speed which even surprised the hand that wielded the brushes. A dedicated teacher, her students do not remain prisoners in the classroom as she takes them close to nature so as to study colours in their natural environment. She feels art is healthy means of self-expression, providing a sense of accomplishment, especially to those children who may lag behind in academics. So art can be a confidence-booster for such kind of children, egging them to do better in other spheres of life as well, Raman asserts. Art also develops a sense of observation, expression, colour coordination in children, she adds. Raman is planning an exhibition of her paintings soon.

Paintings which depict drama
and dynamism
Ritu Raj seems to be in trance, contemplating the medium to be given to his inner feelings, the fact all his 21 paintings express in his maiden painting exhibition titled “Expressions” held at the Indus Ind Bank art gallery from February 7. The self-taught artist endeavored to put life into his works using the sketch pens to express varied human sentiments.
All creations are based on my inner-voice, says Ritu Raj who corroborating mind and using bright colours claims to have conveyed the thoughts that provoke a hue of human emotions and feeling. All exhibits in the abstract art from display the human drama and dynamism. The ‘Violin’ is suggestive of the many strains of music representing all sorts of human emotions while the ‘World’ another creation is illustrative of the strength through unity in all spheres of life. ‘Festivity’ is a celebration of the conflict of the brain to the changing thoughts in mind. ‘Man in meditation’, ‘Woman Face’ ‘World map’, ‘Royal splendour’ are close to conception and execution of the shy artist. Ritu Raj feels that the creations in abstract art must be relished as such without craving for their minute perceptions. — OC
