Aparna Dev is a contemporary artist from India who explores various forms of abstraction to depict the human subconscious and its complex emotions on canvas.
Her regular patrons can instantly recognize her work by her frequent use of vibrant colors, elemental motifs, and gestural brush strokes applied at varying depths. Her works have a way of drawing the audience in with awe, engaging viewers on an instinctual and emotional level.
She primarily uses acrylic paint and prefers working on large canvases. Aparna enjoys listening to music while creating, describing it as a source of inspiration: “Music inspires my emotional and physical energy to move around the canvas, involving my whole body in the process.”
Aparna’s painting process often focuses on finding beauty in imperfection and incompleteness, reflecting profound depth in spontaneous forms. Her paintings communicate beyond the visual experience, often delving into layers of meaning, emotion, and context that transcend what is visible on the surface.
