About the Item

Artist Commentary: I create abstract paintings that distill the light, the intense colors, and the constant movement in nature. The final visual is pure, ethereal, and cosmic with no physical references. With a thought-out color palette and my unique process, I start on a journey of creation. It is always a balance of letting go and being in control. My head, heart, and hand become one and something pure and personal happens. Vapor-like shapes appear and disappear on the panel, leaving only traces of the initial layer, like the mere reverberation of a memory. Words that describe this piece: Colorful, contemporary, orange, modern, yellow, brown, abstract, nature, flower, meditative Artwork Details: - This is a hand painted, original painting - Created in California, USA - Professional grade oil paints on archival-quality natural cotton canvas - Medium-weight cotton duck stretched around 3/4" profile kiln-dried stretcher bars - Ready to hang with wires and D ring - Signed on the back - Professional-grade paint - Certificate of authenticity included with original Artist Biography: Usha Shukla was born and brought up in New Delhi, India. From early childhood she was fascinated by the outdoors. The vibrant colors of the Indian countryside left a strong impression on her. In 1996 when she moved to San Francisco, California, with her family, she found everything different except her interaction with nature. Today, when outdoors, she once more feels the same breath of fresh air that she felt in her childhood and her past and present become one. After a visit to the Louvre museum in Paris, she found her true passion for art, and started her formal art education. She completed her Graduate program at the Academy of Art University, San Francisco, focusing on painting. She has participated in several solo and group shows across the west coast and has won many awards. Her work is collected by several private collectors and businesses. She has been selected for a public art commission by the Alameda County. Two lamppost banners of her paintings are currently placed in the Inner Sunset, San Francisco. Combining her love of nature and passion for art, she paints large abstract paintings in vibrant colors. Her paintings distill the light, the intense colors, and the constant movement in nature. The final visual is pure, ethereal, and cosmic with no physical references. She has a unique process of mark making: Instead of conventional tools like brushes and palette knives, she moves diluted paint on wood panels using an air blower.

Empyrean #2, Abstract Oil Painting, 2019
By Usha Shukla
Located in Boston, MA
Artist Commentary: I create abstract paintings inspired by memories of my interaction with nature. When I was a young girl, I enjoyed walks along the Indian countryside, taking in the beauties nature had to offer. Twenty years ago I moved to California, a place so much different from my native land. I felt out of place and disoriented. That is when I took sanctuary in nature. I have a unique technique of painting: Instead of conventional tools like brushes, I paint with air. I dilute the oil paints, pour them on a wood panel and blow air with an air blower or a leaf blower. Vapor-like shapes appear and disappear on the panel, leaving only traces of the initial layer. There is a constant process of adding and subtracting layers of paint until I get the final composition.
