Paintings By Price

The imagery in Suruchi’s paintings involves ‘Girl with a turban’ , ‘Reclining figures under the starlit skies’, ‘ friends playing a game of marbles’ , ‘sculptures from ancient temples’ and numerous creative portraits of vibrant women.

The use of earthen monochromatic colours at times fusing with the vibrant bright ones and her unique style which is very narrative and appealing, it conveys her story most eloquently. Dry brushing and at times thick knife application of oil paints gives a convincing depth and vibrancy to her works.
These techniques have helped her create the feeling of languorous comfort and easy pace, away from the rush of the rat race outside.

“The game of marbles takes me back to my childhood memories of lazy and quaint afternoons spent
with friends, the focus being the small orbs filled with colour and fun. It emphasizes on the little
pleasures in life” says Suruchi.

The girl in a turban symbolizes a strong and yet sensitive woman who takes on life at her own terms, this painting shows how our minds are perpetually weaving thoughts and how you find that your thoughts actually become you.

What Others Are Saying?

I am always drawn to art that makes me feel emotional yet joyous, that I feel a deep connection with, a reminder of a feeling or a moment from the past or of a hope, a dream in the future. Suruchi's work does that for me.

Suruchi’s paintings make me feel happy! I believe that if she keeps the paint talking she will succeed and go a long way
- Nafisa Ali
We have collected Suruchi’s work from her early days. Unlike other artists who, once they arrive at their signature style, don’t like to change, Suruchi has evolved. From carefree and effervescent pictures of a child girl’s romp, through a searching hesitant step of a young woman into a rugged unknown landscape, she strides today with the potency of maturity. Her young girl is transformed into a complete woman, who looks back at you, straight back. There is strength in that look and an inner calm. Her work tells the story of a journey along a long private road; and it’s a tale that fascinates.

Suruchi’s world has a mystique of its own. She is an ever vigilant painter who keeps storing all impressions of what she comes across. She has a unique view of her own. It is a journey of thousands of years that she has so efficiently spread on canvas…which has no boundaries
