Artist Statement:
Greetings!
My canvases are melting pots
of imagination, existence and
personal quests.
With paint and it’s
possibilities of probing inner
and outer worlds, I explore my
different universes - as a
woman, an artist, a
professional, a family member,
an intrepid traveller, a lost
soul, a dreamer…… believer, a
seeker .
With the Universe Series I
seek to express my complete
enchantment with the
luminosity, and unending glory
of this huge universe and it’s
magical ways, in some ways
finding tenuous connections to
the infinite forces that we
are a part of ….
The magic of nearby
constellations, far-away
galaxies, supreme supernovae,
bright young stars, star
forming nebulae and their
stories have I tried to
explore and capture in the
‘Universe Series’ –
conversations on canvas
between the viewer, the artist
and the unknown.
The birth of young stars in
regions rich in gas and dust
from exploding stars or
supernovae, gigantic
collisions of galaxies
twisting them out of shape
temporarily, huge emissions of
heavy metals including gold
and platinum spat out by
supernovae when they burst,
the impossibly beautiful
colours of dead stars refusing
to fade away…….
Somehow all this enchants and
speaks simultaneously of the
transient amazing entity that

When art became an all consuming passion, even an IIT Master's degree and a promising profession in engineering and software could not hold Smeetha Bhoumik back. She had to take that headlong plunge. And she came up with amazing results to compensate for that.
"It happened in stages, and when it did I knew where I was headed", says Smeetha.
Her first painting came to life in 1998 in Mumbai and then began the prolific period. Her canvases traverse the colourful tapestry of experiences, emotions, travels, relationships....
Born and nurtured in the picturesque foothills of the Himalayas - DehraDoon - the place too has played it's part in shaping her artistic imprints. "Art to me is the intersection of real and imagined worlds" says Smeetha. Her first exhibitions were in the virtual world and she received admiration from all over the world. Currently, she's holding her first solo show "Colours of India' at Artists Centre, Kalaghoda, Mumbai, till April 4. As the title suggests, on display is a profusion of colours that depict a spectrum of themes and emotions. "Exploring interpersonal relationships is another aspect of my work" Smeetha says.
