Let the beauty of what you love be what you do’. These words by Rumi are reflected in Radhika Seksaria’s work. An accomplished artist with a career of more than 20 years, Radhika has now created her distinct identity in the art world.
Over the years, her many shows nationwide and internationally have been well-appreciated by art lovers and collectors. Art aficionado Sangita Jindal describes Radhika’s soulful creations as “Luminous shadow plays of light and dark.” She initially experimented with forms and motifs, but is now moving more toward the abstract. For Radhika, art is a spiritual process. Her fluid strokes are inspired by Sufism, a philosophy that emphasises love in all forms – love for the self, nature, people, and the Divine.
One of the most popular voices of Sufism, Rumi has also influenced Radhika’s work. “Rumi’s couplets evoke ideas of deep love and devotion. His allusions to dance and circular movements depict ecstasy, union with the Divine, and a sheer celebration of life,” she says.
Radhika’s upcoming collection, titled Sukoon, portrays the search for peace and tranquillity in a chaotic world. She believes that peace is lost in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. Through her paintings, she gives the viewer a few moments of calm. Her unique use of light and mysticism, have found appreciation from the art fraternity. Creative director of Tao Art Gallery, Sanjana Shah says, “Radhika’s artwork stills the mind and heals the soul... I’m looking forward to Sukoon, which is an ode to the eternal quest for peace.”
