Artist | Charita

Acrylic is what I started as a beginner in the world of colors. It is a simple medium, dries very fast, and is not so overwhelming.

Foundation is essential, and Acrylic medium helped me with the same as I continued to navigate and get better.

On a personal note, I love Oil paint as a medium. It allows me the flexibility to experiment and continue improvising. Because it is slow to dry, as an artist, I can continue working with the paints for much longer than the other types of paint.

It has helped me evolve as a person to be patient and pursue the craft of my skills as an artist.

Serene-24"X36"-Oil on Canvas Inspired by the breathtaking beauty of Chandratal Lake, nestled in the remote Lahaul and Spiti districts of Himachal Pradesh.

This painting serves as a gentle reminder to embrace serenity, no matter how chaotic life may become.

Sacred Reflection-30"X16.5"-Oil on Linen-Oil on Linen My 30X16.5 oil painting, Sacred Reflection, captures the serene interplay of light, water, and devotion, inspired by the Ganga Aarti at Varanasi. As the brass lamps circle in rhythmic motion, their flames flicker, casting a golden glow upon the sacred river. This timeless ritual symbolizes a spiritual offering, a connection between the earthly and the divine.	Flow of Faith-18"X24"- Oil on Linen Flow of Faith, captures the sacred movement of prayers merging with the river, flames dancing with the wind, and hearts bowing in reverence. With each brushstroke, I seek to express not just a ritual, but a living flow of faith—endless, like the sacred river itself.	Lights of Devotion-18"X21"-Oil on Linen Lights of Devotion, captures the sacred glow of flickering flames, rhythmic chants, and deep reverence that illuminate the Ganga Aarti at Varanasi.

Shringhar- Oil on Linen Shringhar, my Still-life study ,is an attempt to capture the essence of the dressing table, which has woven beauty rituals and created a harmonious blend of heritage and glamour.
