About
Anjana is a mixed media visual artist whose work is a reflection of her Indian background and her love of nature. Large colorful canvases full of texture, movement, contrast, and emotion bring into light her past and present experiences. Her abstract expressions often have a landscape feel where land and sea, urban and rural, combine to integrate her cosmopolitan upbringing in Mumbai, India, with her present experiences in rural Ottawa. Anjana’s art is full of contrast reflecting cultural differences: hectic, loud, and vibrant mixed with calm, quiet and subdued moods. Her mastery of layers and texture and vivid colours reflect her fascination with natural ecosystems resulting in complex abstract renderings of her environments, emotions and inner light. Cities in the distance, boats sailing in the ocean, a glistening lake, uncertain skies, all come into light the longer you observe her artwork, each observer perceiving something different, new, and interesting. Anjana’s art helps us see more clearly our own inner senses and emotions. Her work is prominently displayed in settings such as the United Nations in New York City; a Venture Capital firm in Silicon Valley; and many collectors’ homes in Canada, United States and abroad.
