Lamakaan hosts a One day Painting exhibition done with oil pastels (crayons) by Jyothi Janakiram on 14th Jun 10am - 5pm.
“Life is like a great big canvas and you should throw all the paint on it you can”’ With this belief Jyothi's journey as a Painter began. These are ‘Crayon’ paintings done with Oil Pastels on chart paper. There are two series, one on’ Buddha’ and the other on ‘Women’ beside some random ones. Her very first painting titled ‘Ecstasy’ was done a few years back and the journey continues till date where she has tried to explore everything that inspires her! ‘Musing’ was the second of the series where human mind and our thoughts fascinated Jyothi! Another random piece ‘MUY BELLA SENORITA’ reflects my love for ‘diversity in cultures’ in this world. Painting Lord Krishna in an un-conventional way as a Yadava rather than the Almighty was a refreshing change! Rabindranath Tagore the first Non-European Nobel Laureate who gave us our National Anthem was the perfect way to pay my respects to the great man on Republic Day. Jyothi started a series on Lord Buddha whose preachings influenced people from all walks of life and completed four paintings. The First was titled ‘Courage’ second ‘Fearless’ ,third ‘Dedication’ and the fourth ‘Determination’. I started my second series on ‘Women’-First being ‘Aegle’ second was ‘Cybele’ and the third ‘Adithri’. They have been so titled to reflect the ‘Essence of a Woman’. Another random painting on the occasion of our 65th Independence Day titled’ Iphigenia-Strong Born’ is dedicated to the women of the world. She experimented with Dry Pastels combined with Oil-pastels resulted in ‘Serenity’ wherein a flower represented “Peace Amidst The Storm” ‘Lord Ganesha’s ‘ painting as the ‘obstacle remover’ was the beginning of the “Sculpture Series’. It has been a wonderful and fulfilling journey which I plan to continue.............! “The only time I feel alive is when I’m painting and since every painting has a life of it’s own I try to let it come through!” claims this acclaimed painter.
