Sacred Echoes is an exhibition featuring Puja's recent works, created over the past three years, including a series of paintings she completed during her time in Peru. While traveling through Peru, Puja experienced a profound realization about the core of her being. Immersed in a rustic village of the Shipibo tribe and in the company of healers and like-minded individuals who had long been on their own journeys of healing, she found herself on an inner quest of self-discovery. The paintings created in Peru are expression of this journey. The animals, forests, and energies are the elements that came and guided her as she sought to reconnect with her true essence. Guided by the color theory that asserts the capacity of vibrant hues to elevate emotions, Puja has harnessed the power of watercolors and color pencils to weave her narratives. The foundation of each creation takes root in inked lines, breathing life into each piece with an authenticity that mirrors the rhythm of existence. Using this artistic language, she has become a conduit for visions born of dreams and meditations, giving form to ethereal landscapes on canvas. This metamorphosis has led her to embrace the mantle of a visionary artist—one who translates innermost perceptions into tangible expressions. Through the strokes of visionary art, she endeavors to convey her reverence for nature's beauty and our interconnectedness within the vast expanse of the universe. Each artwork stands as a testament to the threads that bind humanity with the natural world, mirroring the flow of life in the interplay of colors and forms.

About the artist

Inspired by visionary art, Pujasree Burman’s vibrant and colourful paintings take the spectators through her magical universe.Her postgraduate journey at Maharaja Sayajirao University was followed by a three-year hiatus—a period of soul-searching that solidified her understanding of the why and how behind her artistic calling. In 2017, she embarked on a pivotal chapter by relocating her home and artistic sanctuary to Auroville—an international community that nurtures an environment of unfettered artistic exploration.
