Sarala Banerjee of Artworld expresses that she prefers not to label the show as a curated exhibition. “We intend to provide a platform for young artists to showcase their talent. This collaborative effort brings together a diverse group of artists, mentored by Viswam, to express themselves authentically. Artworld has been dedicated to supporting established and emerging artists for several decades,” shares Sarala.
Priya Elayaraja portrays family relationships and women’s emotions using different textures in abstract forms.
