Travelling is a medium by which we get to see different
places, taste various cuisines, see different cultures, traditions, be a part
of a different group of people, see different landscapes..some would be
forests..others beaches..some plateaus..some barren terrains..some inaccessible
mountains. We get a chance to see how people live in different parts of the
world..how their trees and flowers are different from ours..how the color of
their soil differs from our home land..how their language is different from
ours..how our festivals are different from theirs.
Yet there could be some similarities like their night sky
with the crescent moon and the twinkling stars could look just like the one in
our homeland..the sun rays which fall on the awake of dawn could look just like
ours..the same air crosses our motherland too.. the fragrance of the soil when
the first drops of rain fall on them on the start of the rainy reason..would
smell just like ours do...our emotions could be same concerning certain
things..This makes us realize that nature binds us together in many ways..we
are all her children..
Colors from Mother Nature is about how Travel inspires Art.
It could be in various forms..a singer could find his music in a foreign
land..a writer suffering from writer's block could find his next story..a
painter could find his muse..or learn a new technique from the artists out
there in the foreign land..
As Albert Einstein has rightly said " Creativity is
contagious..pass it on..!, we too believe that art has no boundaries..art can
be found in everything..it's just about the artist's view..his perception of
perceiving a certain thing..
We had discovered the technique of knife painting when we
had traveled to Bali..Bali seemed like an artist's paradise..there was so much
art right from the streets to the art galleries.. people were painting on the
streets..they were carving..making sculptures..handicrafts.. There were many
art galleries in Ubud & Seminyak..we visited two such galleries and learned
the technique of knife painting from them..they usually use this for depicting
their rice fields.. their lessons and valuable tips remained with us and we tried
to paint our own ides using those techniques..
This was our personal experience on how different places
inspire you..some things inspire you in such a way that you carry them back
with you.. and add your own touch to it.. and it stays with you for a lifetime..
“Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we
are wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic
ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars.”
So keep travelling..you never know what could inspire
you..when..where & how...!
