The multimedia artist, Ms. Shreela N. Gokarn, approaches each medium in her unique way. From digital art, to acrylics, and oil painting, each of them is characterized by a different process. The artist says, art is a visual language of emotions. She paints intuitively layer upon layer, on textured canvas or digital canvas until she instinctively arrives at a desired result. Each layer of paint starts a new chapter inviting a dialogue with the previous layer until a holistic story emerges. This process involves a balance between intuitive instinct and careful deliberation. There doesn't always have to be a definite intention or idea to get started. Sometimes, just the act of doing is the inspiration.

Exploring the process allows her to see the outcome. She derives great satisfaction in the journey which is a reward in itself.

She quotes Frank Stella, " I don't say I have given my life to Art. I prefer to say art has given me my life” - A fresh life she adds.
