Sonal Varshneya

After completing my Post Graduation with special emphasis on Printmaking from Agra, I shifted to Lucknow and joined Academy of Fine Arts Regional Art Centre which provides workshop facilities to professional printmakers where I am working till date. I started working with etching and aquatint on metal plates and later I combined it with multiple applications. My fascination for etching is basically for the strong lines and vivid textures which primarily forms the base of my works. The themes of my works are mainly derived from Hindu traditions and religious beliefs. My images are iconographical representing images of Hindu Gods and Goddesses. In my work i have drawn my feeling with different happiness lifestyle. There are so many small plate look like I kite and drawn different things like lamp , flowers , owl , chair ,its all are symbol of happiness .i also drawn feminism Look like me .and my daily life

The service of Mojarto is very smooth, user-friendly. Entire process from uploading the image of an artwork to selling it is hassle free and effortless. The Mojarto team is also very helpful, cooperative and always ready to support in any kinds of difficulties. The website not only showcases artworks of renowned artists but gives scope for budding artists also which I appreciate very much. I wish Mojarto team all the best and a very bright future ahead.
