ABOUT MYSELF

A qualified designer from the Sir J.J. School Of Art & Sophia College, Mumbai,
Rukshana N. Hooda lovingly called ‘ruks’ by friends and family has been dabbling in art for the past 24 years. Before she found her own in the world of canvas and colours Rukshana has worked for Resham Creations as a Designer, freelanced with Laxmi Vishnu & as an honorary Teacher for Art/Craft/Calligraphy with The Fidai Institute, conducted classes for students for The Elementary & Intermediate Art Exams.

Rukshana, a mother of two, despite an undying passion for the arts gave way to the rigors of her motherly instincts and left her brushes to rest, only to reinvent herself after nearly a quarter of a century. Overcoming an uncertain beginning, the overwhelming response to her paintings on fabric, canvas, thick cartridge etc, inspired her to start off with a new collection of miscellaneous paintings depicting her passion, her mind and her talent in her own style.

her work, her inspiration…

Rukshana derives inspiration for her work from nature and the world around her, nature in its own self has always absorbed her expression in its beauty, its serenity & its solitude that transcends feelings beyond mortal boundaries...... Human forms, seemingly shapeless boulders, wontful clouds and green landscapes that transform on paper, plates, canvas, marine-ply, teak, etc. For Rukshana beauty holds no form, she endeavors to capture & create its essence on her easel....

Rukshana creates in an assortment of genres, from free flowing abstractions’, contemporary landscapes, soulful etches (charcoal), humanoid forms, Warli art to more traditional Moghal-Art & historic depictions.

her dedication

For ‘ruks’ her family has been the biggest inspiration and it is her two children and her loving husband who continue to support and encourage her to go on.

About Me	Hello, I am Rukshana Hooda, a Visual Artist/Painter from the Sir J.J. School Of Art & Sophia College Mumbai,& Passed out doing Fine Arts, as a Textile Designer. I have an assorted Genre, Very Varied, From Abstracts, Landscapes, Charcoals, Moghal-Art, Human forms, Warli, History, & alwayz inspired by Nature around me, its beauty, its serenity, solitude is sometimes Heavenly to me.... Nature in its own self has always stayed absorbed in my expression. Human forms, stones, clouds and landscapes with types of vegetation take transformation on paper, plates, canvas, marine-ply, teak, etc. Beauty has no form still i try to capture & create on my canvas.... have been painting and drawing for as long as I can remember, but employment in a totally unrelated field caused me to give up doing any form of artwork for many years. In recent times I re-kindled my interest in art, and, inspired by friends and family, I decided to showcase some of my works online. Painting is something I must do, and it is a major part of my life. I love flowers and abstract art & hopefully my artwork speaks for itself. Creativity is...seeing something that doesn't exist already.
