Nital Bhuva In the pain induced trance,
I saw the vision of this land;

I smelled the earthy fragrance,
the essence of life and lull;

I felt on extended hands,
the soothing cool of water with the air;

The aura of the heavens,
alights this world with its blaze;

I walked down the path,
to the lush vegetations and the plains;

Deep in to the forests,
where life grows and rests;

where the wind blew clean and cool,
soothing the wounds of even the dead;

suddenly with the start,
I wake to the real;

which never fails to lurk,
from behind the golden face;

the darkness of the hell,
has, descended on this place;

soot suffocates my heart,
already buried under the plastic carts;

i gather this charred remains,
the mother earth in my hands;

which once used to be a salve,
slips from my fingers now;

and what was once a balm,
poisons my blood now;

the ambrosia which i dreamed of,
evaporated in the air;

and the right to be alive,
dead before the death.

By the Artist, (Nital Bhuva)

I am a self taught artist and painter. I was born on 20th Nov. 1979. I inherited my love for art, ayurveda and yoga from my father. I am fascinated by astrology and palmistry too. My schooling was done in different places all over across BHARAT (India) and I completed my Bachelor of Electrical Engineering in 2001.

I started sketching at the age of 11 and I tried my first stroke of oil at the age of 17. my canvasses comes from one of my passionate encounters with the process of creation, soul searching, feeling and thinking or and either from my craving for the bliss I find in painting.

I experiment a lot but I do not have a specific style, my style is my thoughts and my desire to give something to the viewer. And so there is never any regularity of style in my work. My canvasses do have different lighting effects, strokes and colors depending upon my feelings or mostly subjects, for I paint to satisfy my soul's desire.


Statements:

“I wanted to paint only when the passion to paint is as great as life itself, I have waited many years for that.”

“Feeling is my strength and to pass its positive energy is my duty.”

“My passion and my duty is my motivation.”

“i paint because i don't know what i had do if i wouldn’t.”
