Tales of Mandovi

Ongoing
A series of 3 paintings
The artist decided to capture this vibrant, balanced spirit and indescribable aura Goa preserves. Painting being her main passion, she decided to paint the heritage of Goa.
Her project “TALES FROM MANDOVI” was born as an experiment combining influences from both painting and illustrative art forms. Her artworks are a very intricate mix of drawings and paintings simultaneously merging watercolours, fine line drawings with pens and various other pigment mediums. Her works are influenced by her love of merging Print and Artistic Painting styles.
The Goa Birds’ painting is about my early mornings in the jungle. Short while after befriending a kingfisher and watching its movements, the sounds of the morning birds flying harmonically, I started to paint them but wanting to capture the mood and movements and the rhythm of the earth that is surrounding me which is represented by the colourful drum on the corner.

Assagao painting is my morning and afternoon routine experience of langur family passing through in the morning leaving behind a gentle rain of bougainvilleas in my garden.
They would travel through Assagao and would return back from the beautiful picturesque village of colourful Colonial architecture and pretties gardens that compete with each other.

Chapora River painting is based around a Portuguese poem that I once read about goa and lost where the feeling remained. It is depiction of the stillness and laidback sense the river waters that makes you forget time. The elegant egret birds decorating the woven palm leaves that are almost symbolic to the river mangroves.
