How Natasha Kohli Become a Best Artist?
by Natasha Kohli Indian ArtistAnyone
who creates art can call themselves an artist but a great artist is someone who
can turn its thoughts and energy into something beautiful. They use it to fuel
their creativity and create work that resonates with others. Anyone can be an
artist, but a great artist can be recognized by the way they can make others
feel.
Born
into a family of farmers, Natasha’s grandparents migrated from Lahore, Pakistan
in 1947 and her early childhood has tales of the partition, the sufferings, and
divisive consequences of conflict and exile. Somehow, this imbibed in her and
she started reflecting on this through her art in early childhood. The
paintings were definitely not perfect but they portrayed Natasha’s efforts of
portraying perfection.
Natash Kohli is concerned with human perception and is motivated in shaping the desire to be free from boundaries into arbitrary categories and systems. Her work with still and video art seeks to emancipate knowledge and stimulate flows of information across time and communities, which may operate across borders.
While
she is a successful artist now, Natasha never forgot to give back to society
and impart her knowledge and art to the underserved. Natasha has developed her
own space of abstract art practice at KHUSHI foundation to teach abstract art
to children. Alongside, she owns KHUSHI studios, where she runs seminars,
workshops, art classes for the underprivileged and kids with special
needs. Natasha has also raised funding for the development of a pilot
national network for the arts based on the KHUSHI model.
Natasha
is renowned for endlessly reinventing herself. The inspiration may be same but
the different art forms are what make her versatile. Her art forms look so
radically different that her life's work seems to be the product of five or six
great artists rather than just one.
Natasha
draws inspiration from different textures, colors, and the emotions depicted by
them. Having traveled extensively across the world and has worked with various
artists, she has developed a deep sensibility in creating patterns inspired by
different cultures and traditions. Lately, she has successfully been creating a
fusion of different art forms with her existing art forms and appealing to a
new audience segment.
She also teaches Advanced Abstract contemporary art to the graduate students at the reputed National Institute of Design in India as a visiting faculty. In addition to regular classes, she conducts a unique 360-degree workshop with students where not only she teaches and but even listens to their inspirations and stories and absorbs them. Natasha has reiterated several times in her interviews that here students are the major source of her inspiration.
Spending time in one’s own head is important. When Natasha was a little
girl, she used to go to the temple every day. She would sit there for an hour
and tune in to her own thoughts. She still does that now and often scribbles
down fragments that later act like trigger points for her art.
