Sarla Chandra’s tryst with art and Indian culture has spanned over forty five years.   Painting

for her is not merely a profession but a form of meditation; a personal expression of her love

for Indian Purani text ,like Ved,s, and Upnishads fasinates her. A compulsive inner urge for

exploration of the capabilities of the mind have slowly manifested themselves onto her

canvas.Using ‘varakh’-gold and silver foil are unorthodox techniques that recreate the aura of

our ancient cultural heritage. Sarla’s works are never static, her signature paintings are

treasured by connoisseurs of art all over the world. Her brush generates energy, drawing

inspirations from all faces of nature, and traditions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Sufism, and

Christianity. Each of her paintings pulsates with ‘Prana’ - the life giving force, creating a

spiritual experience for the viewer.
