Ranjini Venkatachari

“Inspired by the finer nuances of simple everyday subjects, I embody my work with a variety of moods by using expressive color and dramatic lighting. Although I prefer to work in a realistic style, I like my art to be a passionate interpretation, rather than a replication of what I see. A recent addition to my works has been the use of Neocolor II (water soluble wax crayon) with colored Pencils. The works are then varnished, UV sprayed and framed without glass similar to an oil/acrylic painting.”
