Portraits and sketching tend to be his area of expertise.
Priyanka Aelay
Priyanka Aelay has her art displayed at the South Asian Art Gallery. She takes inspiration from the folk form, takes elements from it and uniquely transcends this into her art. Her work highlights the ‘simplest form of expression’ and her canvases are a clear representation of her love for portraits and paintings. The most interesting thing about her is that she creates a connection between the fundamentals of art and her personal life. Integrated in the most beautiful and pure way.
Appreciating and showing support to different forms of art is important to boost the morale of the artists and give them inspiration to follow through. This even gives them the enthusiasm to create more work. Some that even you might relate to or need for adding some substance and character to your living or office space.
