Hi, my name is Ravindi and I’m a first year Engineering student. As a member of NUS Artvibe, I have an avenue to express my artistic creativity. When I heard that there was an opportunity to exhibit at ArtsBuzz at the Central Library, I decided to contribute. I thought it was a great opportunity to share ideas. Art to me is very important. There is no work of art, be it a drawing, a painting, or even a sculpture which is not good enough. It is your own way of saying something. It is your own creation.

The first painting, entitled “Out of the Blue” is based on human reaction; more specifically, it shows how conflicting emotions can arise on beholding a familiar face.  The second painting, “Dance for the Night” is focused on dance and energy.

The medium I used was acrylic paint since it can be used in a variety of ways to produce a wide range of effects. It was fun painting after such a long time and I look forward to doing more in the future. The exhibition will be on until the end of the month. Hope you’ll enjoy it, and please feel free to leave your comments!
