Goddess Gayatri

Manisha Srivastava’s paintings may be very well described as A Brush with
the Past. With a dabble of color, drop of paint, line of brush, the artist takes
us back to an era where the feelings, the emotions are set forth in a rustic
background. With apt use of colors, the inner feelings are expressed with such
grace and imagination that the purest soul of the artist is being revealed in the
paintings. Having her upbringing in a remote village in Uttar Pradesh, Manisha
Srivastava has always had a fascination for painting rural backgrounds with
ethnic touches. The perfect harmony with which the sublime colors are
blended with soft touches of brush have created images of wonderful
imagination, be it soulful love of Radha Krishna, Vishnu & Lakshmi, Goddess
Saraswati’s Wisdom. The thoughts that come to mind while appreciating her
art are soulful, joyous, positive representation of common people. It can be
very well said that Manisha Srivastava strives to bring joy of life in her art. As
far as her personal details go, Manisha Srivastava did her Bachelor of Fine Arts
from the prestigious College of Art, Delhi and has a fascination for acrylic,
water color and ink-pen paintings to express her feelings. She has taken part
