About Me:

I am Rukshana Hooda, a visual artist.... a simple down to earth, sensitive, human-being, in love with nature, I love to paint with acrylics, charcoals, on canvas, thick cartridge, teak, fabric, create texture through various interesting mediums ~ I can always admire everything in nature, its funny but the simple things always fascinated me, like the birds chirping, the sunrise , sunset, the skies with those wonderful hues, the trees, the horizon, & this is so true, "We all live under the same sky, but our horizons differ..."

I am from India, & Passed out doing Fine Arts, as a Textile Designer from Sir J.J. School Of Art & Sophia College Mumbai. I simply love & adore the people here, their simplicity, their daily chores, the village life, all this has played an important role in my thinking, my paintings, my lifestyle, I would love to work & help them, when traveling how I love to listen to these common ppl., their life, their thoughts, their vision, (again which is so simple....!)

My Genre, is Very Varied, From Abstracts, Landscapes, Charcoals, Moghal-Art, Human forms, Warli, History, & always 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. I was a Front office receptionist in a Five star hotel, then worked as an honorary teacher in an orphanage, conducted classes for art, craft, and calligraphy, did a bit of social service…
