For Shivani Dugar, Nature is sacred. Through her art she looks to create a sacred space, a tactile space, which can be entered into by the viewer. where she continues to explore the natural world, both seen and unseen, shifting and changing before and around us. For this exhibition, the artist has specifically worked on larger canvases, exploring the idea of hope and the positive energy of Nature, a constant guide, of which it enriches us to be fully conscious.

Like the masters before her who always influence her art, Shivani’s journey is a personal journey into the essence of nature. It is a journey of reminiscence, and looking ahead, where the spirit of nature is expressed not only in the elements but in their relationships and connections, where light animates the landscape as much as it animates the mind, uncovering hidden elements and meanings. Like nature, her paintings are built up in layers of texture and color, much as nature and, by extent ourselves, is built upon layer and layer of time, experience and memory. This is the artist’s third solo exhibition with RL Fine Arts.
