BIO – NARMADA

CV
Narmada Smith

Narmada was born in Sydney and currently resides on the NSW far north coast. She is a practising contemporary Artist who paints in thick oil medium. Her paintings portray a vivid recollection of the cultural and spiritual influences in her life.

Narmada’s paintings reflect her deep resonance with the Australian bush and her love of the mystic imagery of India.

Her work is a tribute to the sureness of her own artistic vision. Defining her love for colour as a transformative power, and the discovery that colour can be a force of its own. Images emerge as colours radiate on the canvas, raw and urgent: her work is intuitive, energetic and process driven. Her evocative use of colour references her travels and experiences in India. The colour and light of India being a profound creative influence on her.

A re-connection with her work after a period of illness and recovery has inspired Narmada with the possibility of transforming the work in new, unpredictable, and inspired ways.

Narmada possesses an instinctive sense of purpose in her life and paintings which are the embodiment of the depth of her life’s experiences and spiritual journey.
