“Paintings for me is both an expression of my observation and a dialogue with my inner self. It is a spontaneous exercise – a leap to freedom
unfettered of the external world.”
Aradhna Tandon
“Aradhna Tandon is a visual artist who paints oil & acrylic on canvas. She has been painting and exhibiting the last 30 years. Her artworks uses everyday motifs like houses, furniture, human figures and elements from nature to depict the human condition.
The artworks depict love, tenderness, compassion, introspection, melancholy,
egotism & surrender in all starkness. Evoking the emotional depth of Frida Kahlo and the gentle sensibility of Louis Toffoli, Tandon’s art reveals the stark beauty of our inner lives.”
