Deeksha Bhardwaj Vashisht, located in New Delhi born and bought up in Ghaziabad, skills in various mediums of painting like oils and acrylics, charcoal, pencil, graphite, and pen. After many studies and experimentation, she has tried to develop own individual style of art.Her juxtaposed forms have an influence of cubism, being imaginative and creative in nature her forms are simplified and stylised geometric forms.
She likes to involve herself in experimenting with new elements, keen on changing palette to avoid colour cliché in her works. Hardcore dedication matched with a focussed mind is needed everywhere in any field, keeping these points in instinct she always follows her passion… Always wanted to do something crazy, something next toimpossible which couldn’t ever be thought of doing alone, therefore she commenced project named LORD, Length Of RealDevotion, a painting measuring 1200 metres in length by 1.25 metres in width, depicting enormous forms of Lord Ganesha oncloth with acrylics and managed to make it by heart and soul and finished in the span of seven months and thirteen days alone….
In her words: “Impossible word stays away from my dictionary, that is, when just the thinking of this whole project was told to others leaving them with goose bumps, which was quite motivating for me as a whole while I was implementing it really”.
The thought of this project before starting this beautiful journey of ‘ME’ with Lord Ganesha, with colours of devotion…. implementing it thereby with zeal…. continuous vigorous efforts….And FINALLY making it …..was all a dream come true!!!!!
Glad to state that LORD has finally left a mark in the history of creating records!
LORD has been registered as the ‘Longest painting by an individual’ in the prestigious ‘LIMCA BOOK OF RECORDS’ 2010 in the paintings chapter.
Colours have always fascinated me, and I love being bright as tints and tones, alike my palette, that persistently unfolds this truth and reminds me of the same right now, working with many mediums like pen, pencil, oils, and acrylics. Initiating painting takes a lot of thinking process, I do write some lines before starting my every series of work….I love to play with mono/di/trichromatic colours, sometimes I also experiment with lots of tints and tones….I never bound myself to a restricted colour palette….I believe, we have different moods, each day has something different to offer, we love change, with different friends, different people, country and so on…. which motivates me more to keep on bringing new aspects and new thinking to the grounds of canvas, and to keep discovering new shades of life….”
Nearly 80 art exhibitions she has done in India and abroad. She also did a project, Paint My City, worked as a Team Leader for more than 3 months in Prayagraj and this contribution of her has been counted remarkable in the history of this entire project.
