Meena Kamal is a prolific international artist, who chased her passion conquering her physical disabilities. Juxtaposed with philosophy and hope she paints in oil on linen/canvas and mixed media on archival paper and wooden panels. Her landscapes depict her enduring journey and experiences in geometric, organic shapes with tactile texture in a meditative color palette. Moods and cultural mosaic inspire her to spend her time at her artistic and diverse landscape abodes in San Francisco – California, Dubai in U.A.E. and Delhi, Mumbai in India. Spiritual influence reflects intensely in her abstractions. Her paintings continuously evolve during the process of creation.
