Event: The Secret Garden
Dates: 5 Sep 2022 - 11 Sep 2022
I invite my viewer to summer's morning walk in the secluded garden of the human spirit. The Secret Garden is my perspective on the exuberant possibilities of life - some bursting into blossom, others, contrarily, remaining perennial promises - as we cultivate our personal space in this world. It is a journey of discovery, a quest for the enigma of living a good life: elusive and fickle at the hands of even the most devoted gardener. But taking cue from the friendly robin in Frances Burnett's classic, I skillfully steers viewer past weeds and mildew, and rather draws viewers gaze to the wonders of colour and light.
Pooja : "These canvasses represent the hope and wonder that I have often felt while wandering in gardens during my travel."
Anyone who accompanies me on this uplifting stroll, will realise it is worth to 'cultiver son jardin.'
Event: A culture in Quilt
Dates: 9 Jun 2018 - 16 Jun 2023
Tapestry of gardens on my canvases
Biography
Pooja Verma is a multidisciplinary international artist based in the city of Utrecht, Netherlands, where she lives and works.
Pooja's work is profoundly inspired by nature, particularly her walks in the summer gardens and expansive landscapes that envelop her. She is particularly drawn to working on a large scale, mirroring the vastness of the gardens and landscapes she adores. Within her studio, she finds a sanctuary to reconnect with her experiences in these natural settings and to explore how her memories, emotions, and connections inform and shape her artistic practice.
She has widely exhibited her work in Asia and Europe. Pooja’s artworks are held in private collections in more than 20 countries in Asia, Europe, US, UK, and Canada. Her main collectors include Dato Jimmy Choo, the High Commission of India, and members of royal families in India, among others. Pooja’s art exhibition and artwork has been featured in various international publications as well.
