Pavitra Eshwar
I am a self-taught artist from San Francisco with roots in India. I paint on whimsical themes using a vibrant color palette and with signature line markings. I worked in technology for many years until I quit to paint and to do what I love doing most. My art-process involves mixing water & mixed mediums and ink markings to paint scenes from the contemporary world. I use the endless freedom in my artist voice to redefine, reimagine and evoke important dialog. I use shaky line-drawings and repetitive mark making to reduce an idea to its barest form, distort just enough to bring intrigue and aesthetic beauty. I’m greatly inspired by artist Gustav Klimt and found a deep connection to his works when I visited the Klimt museum in Vienna. When I’m not painting, I write poems, mother my two loving girls, support causes involving children, and meditate.
