Event Description

A woman’s strength lies in an all-encompassing love shared in her close relationships, imbued with references, as seen in Priya Elayaraja’s oeuvre of creations. The artist has drawn strength from her relationships within her family, her friends, and also from her connection with women of substance, who create a livelihood for survival. She has followed a very rustic exploration to create her metaphors. The embodiment of being a woman who nurtures relationships in many dimensions is portrayed in Priya Elayaraja’s subjects.

Priya is greatly inspired by her (late) husband, S Elayaraja’s paintings, known in the genre of Realism, of mostly rural women and their lives. She has created a niche in a style based on Indian folk art, with a vibrancy of colours to capture emotions that express spirituality, love, yearning, and some unnamed feelings with compositional clarity.

Priya Elayaraja has created a body of riveting works that resonate with emotions.
