The Visual Art of Isha Mital



my cup

Art, for me, is like embarking on a journey with no definitive destination in mind. While you may not always know where you're headed, you'll always arrive where and when you need to. It is an act of being present with the unravelling of the unseen and the unsaid at any given moment.


Where it smells like strawberries

This can also be read as a continuous backdrop of my pieces in both visual art and poetry. I rarely ever plan my work in advance. It is, rather, a constant state of exploration for me. My creations are usually sparse in style, embodying the concept of 'barely there'. It is because I believe that you don't need much in life (I have a drawing with the same title, as well), and that feeling bleeds through my work as well, whether it is visual art or poetry. It is this very belief that makes for a visual language that is one of simplicity and minimalism, which sometimes can also be seen as pushing boundaries and challenging conventional techniques.

 

Lovers


My inspiration comes from the childlike wonder that resides within all of us, a pure and untainted perspective that allows us to appreciate the world around us without prejudice and the need to be seen in a certain way. This is exactly the kind of wind that can be attributed to the unrefined nature of my artworks.


That's Us Talking

My work also carries a subtext of a subtle blend of humor and depth, rendering it both entertaining and thought-provoking. Sometimes, it issues a lighthearted escape from the mundane. At others, it slams like playful absurdity.


The overflow begins now



Whichever direction it takes, it almost always reflects the inherent playfulness of life because at the end of the day, I aspire to serenade with a song of humor and wit, while never not drinking from the well of sheer nonsense, whenever given the chance.


All ready to go walk on eggshells
