Maheshwari Arun seeks to capture the journey that is life through a series of expressions depicting the vantage points of human experiences steeped in emotions and manifested by an eclectic combination of objects and actions.

The artworks presented here focus on the evolution of actions that originate from emotions, fleeting and intense, conscious and the subconscious. The essence of every day gestures and objects has been used to bring out raw and transient nature of human emotions. Much depends on the perception of an individual as each part of the painting can be broken down to represent the harmonic relationship between emotions and actions, ranging from explosive joy through a sense of contentment to sublime peace. The sentiment that each viewer associates with the subject is probably the best description of the work.

Bright shades of colours intrinsically convey movement, anticipation, excitement and cheerful aspects of life. Each colour is used as a reflection of a personal mood to convey a sentiment that is positive and hopeful against the challenging surroundings we face today.
