It is refreshing to see an artist free enough in her creativity to break from the “accuracy” mandate, and just paint! Sonal Ahuja’s work is currently on display at Absolutely Art on the Cafe Zoma side in Madison, Wisconsin. She has several small floral works, which are quite pleasant. However, I personally enjoy her larger paintings, many of which depict the human figure. Sonal’s paintings are not meant to be realist images, but are much more expressive without being what most people would call “abstract”. Her goal is to “capture the life that is in everything”, rather than reproduce an image from nature. She paints to express herself, and does not feel attached to any particular style.
I look forward to seeing more of her work ….
