Devta Or Devi? Who Do You See?
Creative Gaga|Issue 46

Vijaya Laxmi exhibits the power that a woman possesses through various series, an exploration of her mythological concepts allowing viewers to see beyond the obvious.

Vijaya Laxmi
Devta Or Devi? Who Do You See?

Obsession with drawing and painting is Vijaya Laxmi’s genetic code. Pursuing art as a free-time hobby flowered into a passion of extremes where she could forgo sleep to complete canvasses and thus began her creative journey as a professional artist.

Also practicing clay modelling, she credits herself with a substantial part in promoting the concept of 'Green Ganeshas'.

Art, a Never Ending Journey. Experimentation and exploration are realities of an art-practitioner. Trying out all the possible mediums of traditional art from pencil on paper to acrylic, charcoal, ink and oils on canvas and pastels, opened up new lines of thought to be translated into images.

Thrusting on the contemporary and realistic, Vijaya Laxmi never frowned on the abstract. In fact, her realistic paintings have an element of the abstract, enforcing the language she wishes to speak with her brush and the mediums.

Art-zoned in the Mind.

Vijaya Laxmi’s canvas is nothing but a culmination of thoughts that thrive deep-down within her consciousness. In her thought development process, she merges elements from the ordinary life to the sublime spiritual aimed at triggering the curiosity within the viewer to see beyond what is visible.

Themed Concepts of the Modern Divine.

Sensing and feeling divinity within her and outside of her, she has explored this divinity through her artwork in a modern and contemporary manner. Her work is mostly figurative created using oil and acrylics on canvas in subtle blues and greys, attempting to convey a story.
