Arpana Caur



Aparna Caur 
Oil On Canvas 
48”/54” 
As a self taught painter, Arpana’s influences came from her mother’s writings, Punjabi folk literature, the Pahari miniature tradition and Indian folk-art motifs. Her art is a direct reflection of her personal experiences, inspired by local and world events.
Although she has previously focused on Indian women, capturing the essence of their day to day activities inspired by social, cultural and spiritual themes, her focus has spread to many other aspects of life including the environment, spiritualism (Nanak, Kabir, Buddha, Yogi and Yogini and Sufi series), time, life and death, the coexistence of past and present in India, communal riots, nuclear issues, peace, etc.
