Amrit Ranautta

About

UK based abstract artist of Indian origin working with acrylics and mixed media.

Statement

My paintings explore the relationship between the joy of colour and celebrating my existence in this world, as the 3rd born daughter in an Indian family. My pure, unadulterated self-expression that takes my practice beyond what’s seen on the surface. I paint my feelings, I paint my truth and the canvas is a sacred space that belongs only to me with a disregard to the lingering cultural taboos of my heritage. Through my art I can nurture the on-going conversation, back and forth like a dance or a form of call and response, with music as the soundtrack of my process. My practice is rooted in the belief that some of life's most profound experiences cannot be explained through words alone - they are sensed, remembered, dreamt, or simply felt. I work with raw marks that express how I feel in the moment – often as though I am just the vessel and a higher energy is channeling through me. I’m inspired by raw emotional energy, capturing themes of value and freedom. At the heart of my practice is a belief that colour can communicate where language falls short. I want my paintings to offer moments of empowerment, of possibility and hope – for each painting to become both an act of discovery and an invitation to encourage the viewer to pause, follow your intuition and reconnect with your wildest dreams.
