Artist Stories

Featured stories of some highly

qulified and talented artists

from across the globe

Welcome Note

Here we are in the middle of the storm, surprised that we’re still here but

accustomed to its ways. We’re finding ways to cope with this new form of

life and bloom and rejuvenate out of it. Finding the countless ways to scatter

out and cling on to hope to start about our new lives or resume our old ones. Art,

the expression of life and what life imitates is a tool of escape for many and

a means of finding that silver lining. As the great Martin Luther King once said,

“We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope”.

Our latest edition is a delightful culmination of some of the most inspiring

and exquisite talent that our exhibitions had to offer. From artworks done

by all ages and revolving around all different themes, we have it all gathered

here for you in the magic of these mere few pages. Our international

exhibitions this time catered to a very diverse audience who brought

out the best of best as splashes of eccentric colors on blank canvases.

We hope you enjoy reading our journey and precious moments as much as we

took pleasure in compiling these pearls of hope and growth. An ode to courage of

surviving these times and coming out with faith, belief and promise. After all the

human perspective through art and skill is a true reflection of survival.

“Inspire and Empower”

See Amber Gittins

work on the following page!

Featured artist - Amber Gittins

Today world is all about competition.

A person’s passion doesn’t

matter but his/her designation does

matter. When it comes to following

your passion not many people go

with their passion, thinking their

passion will not help them gain the

same level of success as other

career options. But today as well

among such people exists few people

who follow their passion and land

up being a sensation. Among such

people also exists our one and only

Amber Gittins.

Usually in today’s world people are

in hurry to achieve something and

reach heights of success soon after

their graduation without having a

thought what they really want to do.

Unlikely Amber Gittins pursued her

bachelors in Visual communication

and went on a world tour as a break

and returned back with an adamant

decision of following her passion.

It’s not always about to be successful

pursue careers known for success,

but it’s all about if you really

want to do it and how you going to

do it. Its all about your interest in

what you are doing and your innovation

you can get into it.

Amber Gittins is an Australian bases

in Australia, who specializes in

painting. After 7 years of wandering

around the world she returned back

to her home town to settle and pursue

her love of painting, and instantly

started painting colorful nature and

floral abstracts. Her Instagram

then took this

off, and then she got to

showcase her talent in

few art galleries set up

by her own website. Her

achievements every

now and then enabled

her to pursue her passion

as her full-time

career.

She believes in creating

pieces with freedom, as

in going with the flow

of your heart and showcasing

mix of creativity

and love of color. She

doesn’t follow any particular

trend but simply

by creating a few epic

pieces has always been

aiming to make the viewer happy

with my bold use of color palettes

but also convey a certain respect

and love of nature and our environment

around us. Nature is very beautiful

and is very easy to depict it

with creativity for innovative minds.

Amber Gittins also sits in her backyard

to be around the environment

and starts painting without deciding

and just painting what her says

admiring the nature – the flora and

fauna around. She believes following

your passion and achieving success

in it makes you proud of yourself.

She herself feels very blessed

being able to pursue what she loves

every day there by also bringing

Pictured above: Artist, Amber Gittins

happiness and color into so many

homes around the world.

She is an inspiration for people who

want follow their passion but don’t

out of fear. She asks everyone to

believe that if you really want it you

can achieve it. She advices other

artists to work on their passion to

get better with it. She inspires all

artists reading this article to keep

pushing themselves out of their

comfort zone every now and then

to create a better version of themselves.

Her message to other artists

is keep creating every day, keep

painting and exploring your techniques.

If you really want this then



Artist Stories: Amber Gittins

"...art enables us to see and beyond this reality..."

you can achieve it. The more we

paint, the better we will get and the

more creative we will be. Remember

to push yourself out of your comfort

zone every now and then as well. You

will be surprised what might happen!

Social Media is a powerful tool nowadays,

which has not only made it

easy for everyone to connect with

their loved ones but also given all

the young talents and artist an

opportunity to cater to and connect

with thousands of people and showcase

their talents gaining appreciation

at no big cost being anywhere in

the world. Many artists us this platform

to showcase their work and

talents. Similarly, Amber Gittins also

made use of online art galleries created

by her website. The bigger the

connections the higher the chances

to meet many people we admire

or get inspired from. Inspirations

also affects our work to a great

extent. The more we get inspired

from someone’s work the more we

learn and become innovative. As

per Amber Gittins as well French

Impressionists are a big influence

on her work. I love trying different

colour combinations and exploring

the lightness and darkness of tone

to create a painting. I watch how

the natural light changes over the

course of a day on a outdoors scene

or landscape and I notice the forms,

colours and light that occur. This is

then represented through my own

thoughts about these moments and

into my artwork.

Nowadays world is all about educating

your youth how much ever you

can. In this process few institutions

and schools forget to involve subjects

like art for students or keep

the subjects for a fewer grade. But

as per Amber Gittins art is a needed

outlet for us all, a form of meditation

perhaps. She finds painting

and drawing so therapeutic and a

great pass time and nothing else

matters in those moments. It is a

great stress relief so she personally

thinks it is an important subject to

take as a student. It helps bring us

back down to a place of calm and

relaxation. It also allows our mind

to go a little 'fun' crazy - and why

not - anything goes in the 'art world'.

See Liam Kumawatthe

following page!

Featured artist - Liam Kumawat

With the picturesque and

serene blues and greens, it is

no surprise that many artists turn

to nature for their greatest inspiration.

As nature brings about peace

and harmony, art about nature elicits

the same emotions in those

minds who draw from it. While some

artist’s focus becomes creating a

message and exploring complicated

human relationships, those artists

who choose to focus on nature

understand that life can give us all

that we really need.

An artist who draws similar inspiration

is Liam Kumawat. An Indian-based

artist, Liam specializes in

watercolor paintings. His paintings

feature not only nature, but also

water, lotus, fish, and many more

elements of similar nature. His

artworks aim to portray feelings

of calmness and even bring about

peace of mind to the viewer. As

nature faces an increasingly desolate

future in a rapidly changing

world, it has become more important

than ever for artists like Liam to

highlight the beauty and showcase

the necessity of preserving such

wildlife.

Liam developed his career as many

artists do. Art for him started as

a simple hobby which over time

evolved into becoming a passion.

While he boasts an experience of 9

years as an artist, his specialization

in watercolor only began 5 years ago.

He credits the widespread

encouragement

from his social media

pages as well as the

encouragement found

in his first few art exhibitions

for propelling his

career in the arts. It also

furthered his seriousness

in the discipline.

Liam finds pride in the

fact that he is pursuing

his passion as his career.

He states that “I am

able to bring all my inner

feelings on paper. Nothing

more can make you

proud than this,” a sentiment

that many artists

across the globe can

relate to. He also attributes

his pride in his career in his participation

in some global exhibitions.

He mentions that “I consider [them]

as milestones in my current status”.

During the pandemic, Liam found

himself focusing on his artwork and

himself once again. Like many people,

he truly focused on himself and

now had the time to recalibrate. He

says that he took a deep dive into

watercolors to occupy his newfound

abundance of free time, which was

due to the lockdown.

His message to fellow artists is an

inspiring one. “You are the most creative

creature of nature. Never be

Pictured above: Artist, Tommy Balogh

discouraged and keep positive for

the upcoming future. Keep working

with your natural ease to be with

peace and mind always. Don’t worry

about making money at least in the

beginning. It will come, as the world

starts recognizing your talent”.

He extends a similar message to

young artists found in students.

He says, “art inspires life to keep

the spirit up. It makes you ready for

facing the challenges in life. It may

take out all your emotions and make

you free of all the negatives of your

mood. Love it and see the change”.

It should come to no surprise that



Artist Stories: Liam Kumawat


Liam’s greatest inspiration comes

from Mother Nature herself. Almost

all of his artworks are inspired by natural

life. He even states that “it has

given us everything. We just follow

its rules”. Similarly, he mentions artists

like Milind Mullick, Young-Sung

Kim, Thierry Duval and many more

as just some of his favorite artists

of all time. However, he singles out

Hieu Nguyen as his idol. He explains

that Nguyen’s watercolor paintings

are a combination of anime and

watercolors with a brave concept.

He also adds that “his work is generally

a fusion of semi-realistic portraiture

with deep-hued watercolor

and gold leaf”.

Gorky, Kandinsky Works to Make First

Public Appearance Since 1970s at

Sotheby’s

catalogue raisonné

of the artist’s complete

works.

Kandinsky completed

Quatre (Square)

in 1927, around the

same time the artist

had developed his

theory of abstraction,

and following

his invitation to join

the Bauhaus school

in 1921. The work

features a checkerboard-like

form

that is warped to

appear as though it

recedes into space.

Two rare works by Arshile Gorky and

Wassily Kandinsky–both from the

collection of the same private European

owner—will make their auction

debut at Sotheby’s modern and

contemporary art evening sale in

London on March 25. The works are

expected to fetch a collective price

of £3.7 million ($5.08 million), and

they have gone unseen by the public

since the 1970s, when they were

added to the owner’s collection.

Completed as part of his “Garden in

Sochi” series from the early 1940s,

the Gorky work, made between

1940 and 1941, depicts a female

figure. Touching on mythic themes

and recalling memories of the artist’s

upbringing in Armenia, two of

the works from the related series

are in the Museum of Modern Art’s

collection.

Throughout the 1920s, Gorky’s

advance into abstraction was influenced

by modernists such as Picasso

and Kandinsky. By the 1940s, he

was drawing inspiration from European

Surrealists, including Joan Miró,

André Masson, and Matta. According

to Sotheby’s representatives,

high-quality works by Arshile Gorky

rarely surface at auction. Gorky’s

Good Afternoon, Mrs. Lincoln from

the collection of Barney Ebsworth

set the artist’s record at Christie’s

New York in 2018, selling for $14

million. The Arshile Gorky Foundation

is in the midst of completing a

The seller acquired

the Gorky from Galleria

Galatea in Turin,

Italy, in 1971, and

the Kandinsky was bought in 1975

through Galerie Maeght in Paris. Both

works have figured in major museum

shows. Before its purchase, the

Gorky was exhibited widely throughout

the postwar period, at the Whitney

Museum in 1951,at MoMA in

1962, at Tate Modern in 1965, and

at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

in 1969. The Kandinsky was featured

at the Guggenheim Museum

in 1963, the Fondation Maeght in

1966, and the Louisiana Museum of

Modern Art in 1971 before passing

on to its current owner.

Pandemic: An Outstanding

Opportunity for Artists

Ten years later from now, when

we look back to talk about the

year 2020, we're all going to

sigh with a kind of relief as it's over

and also fulfilment in being able to

have abundant time to focus on

ourselves and develop the desired

skills as to build a better future post

the pandemic. This sudden pause in

our lives shouldn't be looked upon

as a threat or an undesirable change,

instead, we should unwrap the hidden

opportunities that this break

has resumed. Working hard on making

recognizable changes mentally,

physically, emotionally and financially

it has been a hard time. Pondering

over the brighter shades of

the effects of COVID-19 we realize

that during this course of time, many

have constructed a network or community

and extended their hands to

the farthest making efforts to help

one another progress over tough

times.

The unpropitious pandemic has

actually taken a toll on being coated

with abundant opportunities for

artists across the globe. The lavish

time proposes ideas to pave the

way to the right door you were waiting

to knock. Being an artist here's

how you can yield principal benefits

from this pandemic;

1Explore new artforms

Taking advantage of the

extra hours in a day you can

try venturing into artforms

you've never tried before. This will

help you boost your confidence

and will also open new possibilities

in the vast field of art. Being

an expert in more than one artform

gives you an edge over others. So

what are you waiting for? Go ahead,

take some inspiration and try something

new with the colours you own.

2Build international

relationships

Connecting to art communities

around the world

and breaking boundaries to share

the spirit of creativity via online

meetings, virtual events, appreciating

each other's work and

interacting through social media

platforms can make an effective

impact and aid in composing

influential international bonds.

3Create awareness on

social issues

Staying relevant is the most

important thing for an artist,

it is important to be self-aware

and also have good knowledge of

the current happenings and the

immediate surroundings. Raising

your voice for or against any social

issues through your work will help

in creating an impression among

the audience. This will enable you to

connect with your art viewers on a

better level.

4Popularize your work

This is the perfect season

to use social media platforms

to their optimum

use to popularize your work and

connect with a larger audience.

Joining communities and actively

posting on your social accounts

using the right hashtags will exhibit

remarkable growth, which will

further drive you to do even better.

the journey.

Art is a boundless feeling of expression,

it is vast and there is always

something undiscovered, be the one

to explore what's new to the world.

n its purest essence, art can be

I found all around us. It is not something

that is limited to the classic

and traditional forms of art that we

typically associate it with. As all

things do, art forms have evolved

over time to grow and accommodate

the worldviews of the 21st

century. One can even say as long

as a person is simply being creative,

everything that they do or make can

be considered a piece of art.

One artist who understands this

like no other is Tullius Heuer. He is

a Brazilian artist who specializes in

digital art. Through this modern artform,

he looks to portray thoughts

and feelings like many other artists

do. Regardless of the medium, artists

around the world can relate in

their quest to understanding human

emotions. Thus, he takes inspiration

from the surreal and emotional

themes that can be found in art

around him as well as in his own art

pieces.

Tullius’ artworks aim to express his

ideas and most intimate thoughts

about life and existence. Another

goal that many artists can find themselves

relating to. As we go through

life, we are all trying to understand

the people around us, which comes

with complicated feelings that we

may not always understand

He states that “I am able to bring

also attributes his pride

Even though he is a creative,

Tullius began his

career from the STEM

field, as he has a degree

in IT. However, he played

around with Photoshop

for years before he even

obtained his degree. He

states that he is a self-taught artist

and credits everything he has

achieved so far to his online interactions

through social media.

While his determination and discipline

is certainly something to be

envious of, he takes great pride in

being able to work with his art for

a living. Not everyone is fortunate

or even lucky enough to be able to

pursue their passion for their career,

which is something that Tullius recognizes.

Similarly, Tullius has been pleasantly

surprised with the work he

has received during the downtime

brought about by the pandemic. He

mentions that since the lockdown

period has brought him a lot of commissions,

he has currently been preoccupied

with those. Hence, he has

had less time to pursue personal

projects and other creative endeavors.

On the other hand, Tullius has a more

positive message for students and

younger, budding artists. He says

for children it is important to hold

on to their innocent way of thinking

for as long as possible. “Bringing a

message of hope and escape from

reality to this world full of empty

feelings” is his perspective on how

art can become truly significant in a

child’s life.

rt is just one of the few things

A that we as humans turn to for

solace in times of difficulty. Each

artist brings their own form of struggle

and determination in each of the

pieces that they choose to develop.

Thus, it is not hard to understand

why there is a common understanding

that in order to be a profound artist,

one must suffer for their art.

One artist who understands this

like no other is Tullius Heuer. He is

a Brazilian artist who specializes in

digital art. Through this modern artform,

he looks to portray thoughts

and feelings like many other artists

do. Regardless of the medium, artists

around the world can relate in

their quest to understanding human

emotions. Thus, he takes inspiration

from the surreal and emotional

themes that can be found in art

around him as well as in his own art

pieces.

One artist in particular who understands

this plight, is none other

than Taqwa Yassin. He truly understands

that art stems from a place

of emotion and prides himself in the

fact that he can depict these sentiments

from not only himself, but

also from others. He is a Palestinian

artist based in Occupied Palestine.

His chosen art medium is drawing

and has been doing so ever since

2014.

A current trend that he has been following

is one of free drawing. This is

unsurprising as given his affinity to

emotions, free drawing is one of the

rawest form of art that an artist can

produce. He even mentions that he

sees “art is a way to express ideas

and feelings I can’t explain or interpret,

and instead I hand draw beautiful

art pieces that show those

feelings”. He feels especially proud

of this connection with feelings of

those around him, which is evident

in his masterpieces.

During the pandemic, Taqwa has

taken an entrepreneurial route and

started his very own business. Since

he started his Instagram account in

2018, it was only a matter of time

until this very year that he would

take the leap into business.

His message to other artists would

be to “be yourself and support each

other”. During times of hardship in

particular, it can become difficult to

reach out to someone when everyone

is facing their own difficulties.

However, Taqwa’s message reminds

us that it is important to stay loyal

to our communities, and to do right

by our neighbor.

Taqwa also mentions that the role

of art becomes even more pertinent

in the lives of students. When children

can have difficulty expressing

themselves with words or with

coherence, he advises students

to “do art to express your feelings”.

Indeed, art can be a window into our

souls and can become a way to feel

understood when the world no longer

understands you.

His greatest inspiration comes from

the phrase “art is born out of suffering”,

a beautiful yet painful reminder

that some of the greatest works

of art come from pain. As someone

who has lived a lifetime of struggle

that only few can understand, these

words resonant with Taqwa like no

other. Hence, it’s also no surprise

when he mentions Frida Kahlo as

his favorite artist of all time. art can

become truly significant in a child’s

life.

Virtual Exhibition:

Save The Animals

Artistic expressions in the right

platform have the potential

to bring about thought-provoking

changes in the minds of the audience.

On this World Animal Day,

Artoze Gallery and Exhibitions conducted

their virtual art exhibition

based on the theme ‘Save the Animals’.

Artoze curated their virtual art

exhibition on October 2020 to raise

awareness about animal rights and

protection, to end animal exploitation

and improve their welfare. As

the animal rights activist Anthony

Douglas quoted “All life deserves

respect, dignity, and compassion.

ALL life.“

In addition to bringing awareness

about the importance of protecting

the lives of all animals and their

welfare, opportunity was presented

to all the artists who participated in

this event by presenting their artful

works. This spectacular experience

showcased arts and portraits from

various artists across 45 countries

and received the highest viewership.

All the exquisite paintings were

put up in the online viewing rooms of

the virtual art gallery, easy for the

audience to navigate and explore

more information. Artoze received

tremendous response and mentions

in social media.

It was a truly inspiring moment for

Artoze Gallery to have the guest

of honors Mr. Neil Shukla and Mr.

Mariusz Kedzierski joining them

at the virtual exhibition. The participants

had the opportunity to

exchange conversation with the

guest of honors, gain their inputs

on the event, their experience and

message to all the community.

Their first guest of honor was Mr.

Mariusz Kedzierski, the polish artist


who did not allow his disability come

in the way of his creativity. This

inspiring artist has produced several

masterpieces in realistic or hyper

realistic drawings. He is an inspirational

artist with enhanced skills

and a motivation to others. “The

most important thing is Humility,” he

said, adding that one must observe

patience and learn during the entire

journey of exploring and creating Art

works without expecting returns of

any kind.

Their next guest of honor was Mr.

Neil Shukla. He is the Founder and

art consultant at IV – Four. Being

an art influencer and interior consultant

himself, his passion for art

expressions stems from his mantra

of following the heart. Artoze audience

had the opportunity to view

the largest canvas painting in the

world. Mr. Shukla explained about his

inspiration for taking up art and his

passions and explained about the

large scale abstract art “Humanity

inspired”.

At the Artoze Virtual Art Gallery, the

users could navigate easily through

the online art exhibition and live discussions

made it more engaging for

all the participants. The portraits

and passionate works showcased

Nepal to Transform Trash Collected From

Everest Into Art to Raise Environmental

Awareness

Nepal has decided to set an example

for the world. The country has

announced plans to convert tonnes

of trash collected from Mount Everest

into a piece of art. It will be put

on display in a gallery and will educate

the world on the need to save

Everest from becoming a dumping

site.

Recently, Nepal made a team of people

and collected tonnes of garbage

from the mountain. It mostly was a

mix of torn tents, plastic bottles,

oxygen bottles, ladders, cans and

wrappers. Mountain climbers and

trekkers leave a huge mess at the

top and the adjoining regions. Trash

has been collected from the peak

which is 8848.86 m (29032 ft).

he art project director, Tommy Gustafsson,

along with co-founder of

the Sagarmatha Next Centre, said

that several local and foreign artists

will be involved in creating artwork

from the collected waste materials.

They will turn trash into treasure.

Gustafsson informed the media,

“We want to showcase how you

can transform solid waste to precious

pieces of art… and generate

employment and income. We hope

to change the people’s perceptions

about the garbage and manage it.”

The Centre is set at an elevation

of 3780 m at Syangboche, which

is also the main trail to the Everest

Base Camp. Gustafsson said that

the number of tourists will be limited

because of pandemic restrictions.

He further informed that that

artwork and products created from

trash will be put on display to raise

environmental awareness.

The products will also be sold as

souvenirs and the money collected

shall go into conservation purposes.

he life of an artist is poetry and

T the artist is the poet, molding

Guest of Honour

Arzan Khambatta

Arzan Khambatta is an architect

by profession and a

sculptor by choice.

Encouraged by his parents, he started

sculpting after giving his 10th

standard exams in 1982. He would

scout the streets, garages, construction

sites for scrap metal, collect

the same and weld them into

pieces of art he fondly christened

“SCRAPTURES”. A word that has

become synonymous with Arzan.

His latest project includes blog

publications that are centered on

sharing stories, thoughts and art

that are related to our most innate

human connections such as love,

pain and compassion in an effort to

empower others. He is one among

the highly looked for and sought

after artist. His artworks have an

uncommon sense of innate portrait

of thoughts depicted visually.

What started off purely as a hobby,

slowly began to yield income when

his first buyer, architect Dara Mistry

bought his first piece in 1983

for Rs:2000. He got his first public

response in 1993 when he opened

SCRAPTURES to the public at the

Jehangir Art gallery in sept 1993.

The message of a piece is always

one of utter importance. For him this

holds a special place in his heart. For

every piece to have its own message

and story which helps in connecting

with people. Each painting

represents a specific person and

where they come from. The beauty

of the painting lies in the seeing

greatness in every person.

Commissioned works started

pouring in, the first one being the

MOGHUL outside the jewel of india

at the Nehru centre commissioned

by Architect Noshir Talati in 1989.

Now Khambatta’s works are found

in corporate houses, hotels, and private

collections around the world

and range from six inches to sixty

feet in height, The most prominent

ones being the dolphins at worli and

the INS Vikrant monument at

Currently 13 solo shows and over

150 group shows around

the globe, Arzan has

that is close to his

heart, namely Curating

NGOs.

His first fundraiser for

The Jai Vakeel School

in 2019, involved

100 sculptures made

by him, which went out to

85 artists, who painted

their renditions on the

sculptures. This was

He has also made a film titled “DECI-

The Emirates Mars Mission

"Hope Probe" will be the first probe to provide a complete picture of

the Martian atmosphere and its layers when it reaches the red planet’s

orbit in 2021. It will help answer key questions about the global

Martian atmosphere and the loss of hydrogen and oxygen gases into

space over the span of one Martian year.

Emirates Mars Mission Overview

The Emirates Mars Mission (EMM) is the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE)

first mission to Mars. EMM is designed to orbit Mars and study the

dynamics in the Martian atmosphere on a global scale, and on both

diurnal and seasonal timescales. Using three scientific instruments on

board of the spacecraft, EMM will provide a set of measurements fundamental

to an improved understanding of circulation and weather in the

Martian lower and middle atmosphere. Combining such data with the

monitoring of the upper layers of the atmosphere, EMM measurements

will reveal the mechanisms behind the upward transport of energy and

particles, and the subsequent escape of atmospheric particles from the

gravity of Mars.

Joining Global Efforts

The Mars Exploration Program Advisory Group (MEPAG) is a central

forum through which consensus is reached among the international

Mars science community about the scientific goals and investigations

that should be pursued in order to further humanity’s knowledge

of Mars. The 2020 MEPAG Goals Document outlines four primary

goals: I) Determine if Mars ever supported life, or still supports, life, II)

Understand the processes and history of climate on Mars, III) Understand

the origin and evolution of Mars as a geological system and IV)

Prepare for human exploration. Each of these high-level goals is flowed

down to a series of objectives, each of which are in turn flowed down

to one or more sub-objectives and recommended investigations.

The EMM science objectives and investigations are primarily relevant

to MEPAG Goal II: Understand the processes and history of climate

on Mars. Specifically, by studying the lower and upper atmosphere

simultaneously, all four EMM investigations addresses MEPAG Objective

II.A: "Characterize the state and controlling processes of the present-day

climate of Mars under the current orbital configuration."

out with pure emotions.

As we enter the magnificent gallery

we see multiple artworks displayed,

array of colors splashing in and

out. The sight is glorious. It’s sunset

time, causing the sky to erupt

in fiery colors—splashes of orange,

red and pink that unite together. It’s

The talent emerges efficiently

through the pictures that is taken

on the artist's own accord, following

their own guidelines with no restrictions.

Right now, they have the

chance to fulfil their own desires.

Sometimes looking at these amazing

artworks it feels like we are

allowed to become one person with

the inner creativity and create art

for our very own muses.

It’s as if without thinking twice, we

grab the camera and adjust a couple

settings before taking a few shots

and we get amazing results be it in

form of wildlife or be it in form of

cute little red panda as portrayed by

shiva chettri.

These talent emerges efficiently

sometimes through the pictures

they take on their own accord, following

their own guidelines with no

restrictions.

As we dive deeper into the gallery

we view sunset at islands which is

an opportunity for to escape, a fantasy

idea of a safe haven.

It’s enough to cause us to sit on the

beach and seethe in our own envy,

unable to explain the welcomed bitterness.

When we return back sometimes we

filter through different pictures we

snap, editing them and retouching

them to fake perfection. But right

now, all these artworks in the gallery

are sincere,

It hurts to see a happy family, a harrowing

reminder of the life we lost

the chance on. Our lingering heartbreak

feels deeper at times. But

we can’t help but admire from afar.

Everything that have managed to

stick together through all the tribulations

that maintain a strong foundation

and even raise up children

together—it had been, once upon a

time, what all artists wanted.

It had been a burning desire for

everyone.

And this is what the entire theme

was all about ,bringing in different

talents and emotions under one roof

ultimately.

From a dinosaur fossil set to a huge

Roman Colosseum model, LEGO

sets have come a long way since

the plastic brick houses of the ‘50s.

Kids and adults alike can now build

pretty much anything from LEGO

pieces. And now, you can even

recreate famous art thanks to a

LEGO Ideas Club Member known

as legotruman. They designed the

Vincent van Gogh: The Starry Night

set, allowing you to build the iconic

painting in 3D.

Legotruman says, “As a LEGO fan

and an admirer of the painter, I wish

to recreate one of his most celebrated

artwork in Lego

form, and share this

with all Lego fans and

art lovers!” The idea

gained over 10,000

votes, meaning the

1,552-piece set is now

approved to go into

production.

Van Gogh painted The

Starry Night in 1889

during his stay at a

mental health facility

in the nearby Saint-

Rémy-de-Provence.

The famous painting

depicts his view

through his room’s

“iron-barred window”

just before sunrise.

With it’s swirling sky,

flame-shaped trees,

and the addition of

an imaginary village,

the painterly scene

expresses “the violence

of his troubled

psyche.” A year after

‘Starry Night’ Painting Being Turned Into a

3D LEGO Set

Van Gogh painted The Starry Night—

on July 27, 1890—the troubled artist

shot himself in a wheat field. Two

days later, he fell victim to his injuries.

For the three-dimensional LEGO version

of The Starry Night, Van Gogh’s

iconic brushstroke style is captured

with short, thin bricks in multiple

hues. The swirling sky can be built

using an assortment of brick plates

and curved parts, while the stylized

moon and stars are depicted as circular

pieces. Legotruman says, “My

favorite part is the inclined plate

stack on the right, capturing the

angled brush strokes within the

moon-lit cloud.” The set even features

a Van Gogh mini figure with

a paint brush, painting palette, an

easel, and a miniature “Starry Night”

painting. By placing the minifigure

before the 3D scenery, it’s like

watching the artist work on the

painting in real time.

Portrait of Kamala Harris Made Entirely of

Cracked Glass

Vice President Kamala Harris’s history-making

election as the first

female, Black, and Asian American

to serve in our nation’s second-highest

office has been immortalized in

a new artwork.

Swiss artist Simon Berger’s sculpture,

installed yesterday in front of

the Lincoln Memorial in Washington,

DC, by the National Women’s

History Museum and the women’s

leadership network Chief, is made

from broken glass, symbolizing the

shattering of the glass ceiling that

prevents women from advancing to

leadership positions.

“Representation matters, especially

at the ballot box, and the inauguration

of Kamala Harris as the first

woman, and first woman of color, to

serve as vice president of the United

States is a landmark moment in

American history,” said Holly Hotchner,

the museum’s president and

CEO, in a statement.

“Representation matters,

especially at the ballot

box, and the inauguration

of Kamala Harris as

the first woman, and first

woman of color, to serve

as vice president of the

United States is a landmark

moment in American

history,” said Holly

Hotchner, the museum’s

president and CEO, in a

statement

“Today’s progress is

built on the legacy of

the women who

came before—the

trailblazers, like Kamala, who

raised their voices, marched

for their rights, and ran for

elected office; the women

who cracked glass ceilings so

that other women could shatter

them,” Hotchner added.

Berger developed his unique

artistic practice of glass shattering

in 2016, when he started

taking a hammer to layers

of laminated glass to create

cracks and fissures that, from

a distance, create legible

images..

He based his six-and-a-halffoot-tall

portrait of Harris,

titled Glass Ceiling Breaker,

on a photograph by Celeste

Sloman, author of the 2019 photography

book The Women of the 116th

Congress: Portraits of Power.

A short film of Berger at work on

the piece, set to the sounds of Harris’s

victory speech, honors some

of the women who came before

her to break other political barriers:

the first female congresswoman,

Shirley Chisholm; the first female

senator, Carol Moseley Braun; secretaries

of state Madeline Albright

and Condoleezza Rice; and supreme

court justices Sandra Day O’Conner

and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

In her vice-president-elect acceptance

speech, Harris thanked “the

generations of women… who

throughout our nation’s history

have paved the way for this moment

tonight.… And I stand on their shoulders.”

World's Coolest Winter

Archaeologists believe they

have discovered the world’s oldest-known

representational artwork:

three wild pigs painted deep in

a limestone cave on the Indonesian

island of Sulawesi at least 45,500

years ago.

The ancient images, revealed this

week in the journal Science Advances,

were found in Leang Tedongnge

cave. Made with red ochre pigment,

the painting appears to depict a

group of Sulawesi warty pigs, two of

which appear to be fighting. Those

two images are badly damaged, but

the third, possibly watching the drama

unfold, remains in near-pristine

condition.

“The world’s oldest surviving representational

image of an animal,” the

paper noted, the painting “may also

constitute the most ancient figurative

artwork known to archaeology.”

“I was struck dumb,” Adam Brumm

of Griffith University, Australia, the

article’s lead author, told NewScientist.

“It’s one of the most spectacular

and well-preserved figurative animal

paintings known from the whole

region, and it just immediately blew

me away.”

Archaeologist Basran Burhan, a Griffith

University PhD student, discovered

the cave and its prehistoric

paintings in December 2017. It’s

only accessible during the dry season,

via a long trek over mountains

through a rough forest path.

Previously, the oldest-known figurative
