Kamal Kumbhani - Artist Biography

Art and Light

Artist Statement

I have always loved art – to create a three dimensional visual in a two-dimensional setting is both fascinating and challenging!

I am inspired by so many things – the changing colors of leaves against the sky! The colors of the clouds – a stormy sky; the water reflecting the beauty of nature!

But in all this, the common thread is light! The impressionists highlighted the effect of light, no matter how humdrum the subject! Every color changes with the injection of light – the sheen on a person’s face, the light flashing from a metallic object!

I hope I will have the opportunity to explore this through the medium of oil and water colors!
