"Bahrain-based Ella Prakash, an acclaimed artist for feminine figurative-modern and contemporary art. She is best known for her inventive techniques and vibrant use of colours. She started her art career in 1984. With a lifelong fascination with painting, art for her has been a way to express her perception, dreams, and aspirations of women. She always visually manages to incorporate all the elements of this topic and create an impact insincere positivity.
In reviewing her artistic concepts, she explains the meaning behind her series: “When you start painting you always have a base idea of what your finished work should be, but more importantly allow yourself to prepare as many as alterations of your base idea. Simply because once your mind has decided to steer your thoughts, you start to unravel emotions and strokes that you never thought you could express”.
She focuses closely on the medium of painting, which seems almost like a liberation, opening up the potential to give the issue of form and background, space, areas and lines a new level of concentrated dynamism. She works in a very limited palette of colours, changes the palette depending on a series of work. Her oils are distinctive for their bold brush strokes, she expresses her work through palette knife using vibrant colours, the end result is a direct and spontaneous gesture on canvas that in turn, is based on insight gained in previous work and which gives these paintings their inescapable explosiveness.
