Her Life is Her Art
Now, you must be wondering who is she? Ok, ‘Her’ refers to me. Everyone has some or the other affinity towards something. I am passionate about painting and art. Playing with colors always satisfies me. Trupti my name itself means satisfaction and I get that satisfaction from painting.
During my childhood, I used to color all the pictures in my drawing books before the teacher could tell me. Usually, I would be punished for that. Day by day the affinity started turning into a passion.
Painting is just not fun but it has many benefits, some of which I have listed below.
- Helps me to relax. Painting is a long process, so it needs patience to complete an activity. However, it is the process that is relaxing.
- Provides a sense of control. My sense of control increases when I try to design something complicated.
- Helps reduce depression and anxiety. Painting is an anti-depression therapy wherein I indulge myself completely and I forget my anxiousness.
- Assists in socialization. It is the process of relaxation, patience and control, so ultimately you learn how to deal with people socially.
- Encourages playfulness and a sense of humor. Color is the best thing to improve your sense of humor and I am quite playful. Doing paintings and trying new things acts as a plug-in for enhancing the playful nature.
- Improves cognition. Sketching and painting help me to improvise my perception of things. Painting on regular basis helps me to get new ideas and implement them in my other tasks.
- Fosters a stronger sense of identity and increases self-esteem.
- Nurtures spirituality. Painting has a power to purify and calm the soul.
Reduces boredom. I indulge myself in painting when I have spare time or when I am bored. I had difficulty in painting realistic images till Std X, even though I was good at sketching. I still consider myself a beginner as I have to improve my skills in painting real objects.
I use acrylic colors for my paintings. I have a good collection of brushes and my friends have gifted me a set of brushes that has increased my collection.
Along with my painting skills, I also love singing and dancing and used to take part in competitions when I was in college. I also love being creative and making items out of waste materials. Listening to music is also a part of my daily routine, it helps in reducing stress and gives a sense of peace.
I have not started a painting business but I like to paint whenever I find some spare time. Painting is just the way to find, explore and understand ourselves.
