SUDHA HAJELA
APRIL/MAY/JUNE 2024 Reception April 14, 2-4 PM
I seek to explore through my art the tension between order and chaos, and the way that differences between human structures and natural elements converse and influence each other within a composition. I am drawn to painting in the abstract because it allows me to play with these concepts in a more open-ended and expressive way. On my canvases I present the viewer with images imbued with meaning as seen through the lens of my experiences and have them join me on my journey—inviting them to explore, to interpret and to find meaning for themselves.
Sudha Hajela was born and schooled in various cities in India. Her love for drawing and geometry led her into a career in architecture. After immigrating to the United States, she continued to work as an architect while also expressing her creativity via painting, pottery and jewelry making. Her artistic practice has been deeply influenced by her travels in the US as well as abroad. She now paints primarily in acrylic and dabbles in pottery. Sudha lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico. sudhahajela@gmail.com www.sudha.hajela.art
