Whether you are drawn to the controlled chaos of my fluid acrylic pours or the tactile depth of my palette knife abstracts, these paintings are not just decor; they are a piece of my journey looking for a new home. My art practice is a constant exploration of what happens when we stop trying to be perfect and start being honest. The 'heART' series started during the lockdown, simply because I wanted to send a little love out into the world. It evolved into a way for me to practice 'radical responsibility'—taking ownership of my experiences and translating them onto canvas. Technique Matters I play with two main styles in this collection: - Fluid Art: Using the 'dirty pour' or 'swipe' methods, I let gravity and fluid dynamics dictate the pattern. It is unpredictable and requires me to let go of control, which is the most therapeutic part of the process. - Textured Abstracts: Here, I use a palette knife to build layers of paint. These pieces are more deliberate, allowing me to explore depth, contrast, and the shades of grey that exist in our daily lives. Commissioning a Piece If you see a style you love but want it in specific colors to match your home or office, I am happy to create a custom piece for you. We can chat about the vibe, size, and the emotions you want the painting to hold. Each piece is hand-painted, signed, and ready to bring a bit of that honest, messy beauty into your space. Since these are original acrylic works, they take a bit of time to cure properly, but I ensure they are packaged safely for transport. ## About Surekha Sundaram I am Surekha. I paint to find my way back to myself, and my 'heART' series is a reflection of that journey. Every piece is raw, honest, and intentionally imperfect, just like the emotions that inspired them.
