Ashima Art

I am a visual artist. My style is a unique fusion of doodle art with traditional and digital media. Inspired by the traditional art forms and Zentangle (a mindful form of doodling), I juxtapose graphic simplicity with painterly strokes. My serene artworks aim to “penetrate the deepest part of us where no words exist.”

I use graphic forms and colour emotively as a translation of my dreams and feelings. Always looking to transmute the experiential into visible patterns and abstract forms, I see my artistic practice as threefold: “dream, doodle, design.” My artworks are spontaneous, like relaying feelings onto paper through the mere act of breathing. My hope, of the artwork, is; the viewer discovers new things each time they look at it.

My expressionist works are greatly influenced by nature and reveal the messages that my communion with nature brings forth.  A form gives an idea, this idea elicits another form, and everything concludes in shapes, figures, animals, flowers, and trees.

“The intuitive* series was created by turning and rotating water and inks on the paper. This created organic shapes giving birth to an idea and this idea evoked another form resulting in the artwork.” (artworks;  Family and Forgiveness)
