Beautiful Dreamer
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest painter of them all?
Clearly it’s Dhruvi Acharya. We are in LOVE with bi-continental painter whose work takes us away to another world with her melancholy wistful watercolors.
The beautiful work of Dhruvi Acharya is both haunting and warm at the same time. The light faded colors bring a dreamy quality to the paintings, while the subject matter addresses everything from pregnancy to arranged marriage, to the position of Indian women in society.
The painter credits the style of Japanese superflat paintings and comic books as inspiration. But don’t let the simplicity fool you. Upon closer examination you might find a dismembered body parts or tears of blood.
As the painter says her work evokes “emotional and intellectual quarrels with oneself”.
If only our self quarrels were half as interesting.
