A Moment of Air captures the suspended second between stillness and flight. The heron rises gently above the landscape, embodying freedom, grace, and the quiet pull toward open space. Painted in soft, earthy tones, the work reflects on fleeting moments of release and movement.
Artist Bio: Parita, a self-taught artist, always had an innate passion for art from a young age. However, growing up in an Indian family Parita was not allowed to pursue it, as “art cannot be a career”. It wasn’t until she became a mother at 32 that Parita finally decided to heed her artistic calling. Parita feels a deep sense of belonging and fulfilment in the creative world.
Based in Perth, Parita’s passion lies in capturing the beauty of everyday objects through the lens of still life painting. With a keen eye for detail and a love for challenges, Parita constantly seeks to push artistic boundaries by exploring new subjects and techniques.
Embracing imperfections as inherent elements of artistic expression, Parita finds beauty in the subtle nuances of wonky lines, brush strokes, and potent backgrounds. Through these imperfections, Parita believes that the true essence of a painting emerges, showcasing the handcrafted journey that transforms ordinary objects into remarkable works of art worthy of adorning any wall.
Parita strives to evoke a sense of depth and emotion in each piece, playing with light and shadow to create captivating compositions that resonate with viewers. From vibrant fruits to delicate flowers, Parita’s artwork transcends the ordinary, inviting viewers to pause and appreciate the subtle beauty that surrounds them.
