OVIYA CHANDRU

     My life towards the art started as a passion at the age of 10. During the pandemic period I started making my work as a profession. When I started creating portraits and oil painting landscapes, I was inspired by the textures and color patterns of my works. I bring realism through renaissance and inspiration for my artwork comes from an array of places and forms. Those who find passion in their work inspire me, and I generate ideas by exposing myself to other areas of study. Drawing has always been an integral part of my art practice and remains my primary focus. I use charcoal so I can compare my drawings down to basic elements of light, dark, texture, detail and composition. It allows me to communicate thoughts and feelings when articulation escapes me. Charcoal is the most primitive of media, but its warmth, depth and versatility are tactile and mysterious. I do Black and White Portraits because they are clearly defined and have a distinct difference from each other. Oil Painting is like a meditation to me as I slowly try to achieve its realistic semblance through matching colour patterns. I paint slowly using many layers of building depth to finally see the effect. 

I commission works on Charcoal portraits sketches and Oil paintings based on requests! These works make me feel super special and happy to have been a part of such a beautiful moment in their life.
