Shanaya Ramchandani

Hey, I’m Shanaya Ramchandani! I am 14 years old. I am of Indian origin and I’ve lived in Sydney, Australia for seven years. My hometown is Mumbai in India and currently, I am living in Singapore. I just moved to UWCSEA this academic year and I moved to Singapore in June 2014. My hobbies include art, swimming and dance and I am learning professional Indian Classical dance. I have a younger brother who is 9 years old. These two paintings that I have made are a sequence and they are based on the Hindu God Krishna, and his beloved Radha. The lotus is of big symbolism in Hindu mythology so I decide to include that in my painting. Krishna plays the flute which also has symbolism. He is portrayed to be a bluish colour as apparently he was born from a lotus flower with its petals tinted blue and white. I hope you like this sequence of paintings, and I might add a third painting to the current two. I have made a few other canvases which you might see on this blog in the near future.
Thanks,
Shanaya Ramchandani.

    These works make me remember the first time I saw an original Marc Chagall in Germany, Shanaya. They are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

    Hey Shanaya!
    I think it's really amazing how you were able to paint a picture about your culture and you managed it so well! As Rosie said, thank you for the explanation it helped me understand a lot more about the paintings. I really like the style you painted in, really angled and smooth lines it's really unique and make the painting seem really different from others. I can't wait to see your future canvas works! -Bohye

    This is astonishing! I love art that relates to culture and religion because there is so much meaning behind it. I love the red as a background because it compliments the blue and pink used throughout the foreground of the pieces. You mentioned the symbolism of a lotus, does that symbolism mean anything to you personally? For improvement in the future maybe line the pieces in black, I can see you did it in some places but I think it would really make the piece jump out more. You could alternate between thick and thin lines as you see fit.

      Thanks a lot Simone! No, the lotus don't have any symbolism to me and thanks for the advice!
