artist profile
Usha Shantharam, a 'Contemporary Impressionist' artist, is based in Bangalore, India. Her artistic journey began right from her childhood when she won many prizes for art at school and college. Though she received early tutelage in the technique of oil painting, she is truly a self-taught artist.
Her ‘Body Language’ series of paintings gives the audience a peek into the lives of the common Indian man and woman whose beauty and simplicity is usually unappreciated. The 'Drawing Room Musings' series of paintings are a collection of plein air paintings called 'Green Earth', consisting of Indian Impressionist Landscapes.
She dedicates her weekends to teaching painting to interested individuals and her 'Drawing Room Musings' show launched 4 of her students into the mesmerizing world of art.

my painting style
"My personal philosophy is to open people’s minds to the beauty of our times and the scenes of everyday life around us.
My paintings may be categorized as 'Contemporary Impressionism' style. And the subject matter is always realism, based on day to day real life moments and experiences - as I believe that painting from real life is the truest form of expression.
I love to experiment with interesting new color combinations, unusual angles, and the play of light and shadows in my paintings. Having painted a wide range of subject matters from still life and landscapes, to people and portraits, my paintings portray the diverse culture, scenes, and lifestyles of India."
