Actress Sushmita Sen opens New Delhi painting exhibition

New Delhi, Jan.18 (ANI): Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen inaugurated an exhibition of figurative paintings here on Saturday.

Sen, dressed in exquisite black outfit, inaugurated painters Raghu Vyas's solo show titled 'Krishna--Romantic fantasy in peacock forest'.

Various paintings like 'The Divine Saviour', Angels in a Peacock forest and Krishna in the Lotus pond depict the grandeur and love that flows from Krishna (Hindu god).

Mesmerized by various moods of Krishna, which were depicted in these paintings Sushmita Sen said that she connected with these paintings as a human being.

"I relate to these paintings more as a human being than I do as a woman. I think the ability to reach out creatively through any form of creation in a way that inspires you is one where I connect with it," said Sen.

When asked why he chose Krishna as the subject painter Raghu Vyas said that Krishna was complete god and there was more of romanticism and passion in depicting him on canvas.

"Krishna is loved by everyone. Many miniature series are done on Krishna because he (Krishna) is a complete god there is more of romanticism, passion which you will see in these paintings," said Vyas.

The exhibition depicted the artist's personal, religious and spiritual encounter with lord Krishna (Hindu god). (ANI)
