My Reaction to Tara Subharwal

I was quite interested by Tara Subharwal’s story of her life. I find it fascinating that she was allowed to have so many opportunities to travel to and fro from one country to another. After hearing of that fact, the first thought that came through my mind was that she is really lucky being able to express her art so freely.

Speaking of her art, I find it amusing that she has a “go with the flow” sort of style while painting. Going to art school in India may have influenced her art style in the sense that I think she had enough of copying art, but instead wanted to just make it. Although her paintings aren’t the type of art I prefer, I found it mind boggling to try to piece it together.

One of the big things I wanted to ask her was how could she even afford everything or where her income was. That type of question did seem too personal so I kept quiet. I really do regret not asking her though as it’s still on my mind.

Tara Sabharwal’s Visit Reaction

Tara Sabharwal’s visit was contrasting to the previous guest. Instead of videos and music, she talked about painting along with many visuals for support. She passed around the books, and while I was looking through the artwork, I was fascinated. I remember the book in which she drew the same artwork, however with distinctive colors for each drawing. It explicitly showed the effect of color in the painting, and Tara Sabharwal, specially said she spends a great deal of her time trying to make the color that she wants to use to portray her image. In other words, it was a memorable experience to have an actual painter talk about her own paintings and have a live description of what was going through her mind and what her intentions were in drawing such product.
