Art
Ashima’s artworks are the translation of her dreams and what touches her soul. That is why art to her is ‘Dream, Doodle, Design’

Life is Music Series
A body singing in unison with the music it hears. The rhythm guides the movement of the dancer as she twists and turns and takes many a leap of faith. Seamlessly, our thoughts flow with her, shape shifting, cavorting, peaking, tumbling, all in the span of a moment. Yet, the eternal in us remains rooted; waiting for us to discover ourselves.

City Girl
Here we see a very stylish, young, hip, and beautiful city girl in all her downtown glory within the concrete and glass urban jungle that she calls home, with myriad inhabitants and endless streams of passersby. For literally having the whole city behind her, this woman seems woefully alone and quite lonely as everybody continues to pass by. All appear not to notice her, no matter how many hairstyles she tries on or how many trendy outfits she uses to get noticed.

Dreams are an enchanting wonderland. The gateways to our subconscious desires and longings they invite us to explore surreal landscapes dotted with magic and symbolism. The “Enchanting Wonderland” series is the result of many such explorations. Inspired by pareidolia (the tendency to find an image or meaning in a random visual) they feature inkblots and patterns that evolve and transform. The result is myriad landscapes that are surfeit with layered nuances expressing life and nature.
The Reflections Series
“The inspiration behind the ‘The Reflections’ series stems from the human pursuit of the eternal goal, the merger with the Supreme Being. I was intrigued by the idea of exploring the attributes of the human mind and how they contribute to this pursuit. The bird represents a soaring spirit, ready to take flight, while the fish symbolizes a leap towards spirituality. The horse embodies the power to overcome hurdles, making it possible to move forward. The series is a visual representation of the eternal journey and the desire to reach a state of peace and unity. The use of symbols such as the bird, the fish, and the horse, emphasizes the idea that this journey is timeless and universal, something that is common to all of us. The paintings are meant to inspire reflection and contemplation, and to spark a deeper understanding of the human mind and its connection to the divine.”
