Art has a wide range of applications and practices, which makes it not just about exploring beauty but also an expression of one’s emotions and inner feelings. Expressionism is an art form in which a distorted and abstracted image of reality is created to make it expressive of the artist’s emotions and ideas. Artists who practice Expressionism always strive to convey emotions and their meaning rather than reality, an ideal voice that echoes through the farthest parts of the world.
Rooftopcurated an amazing workshop for you to explore the deep and expressive world of Expressionism and invited artist Srishti Bansal to facilitate the session.

She completed her undergraduate degree in the field of Commerce and loves to be identified as an artist.

The Workshop Began
The workshop began with a brief introduction of Srishti and her experiences as an artist. Srishti greeted and expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the attendees. She then gave an insight into the meaning and significance of Expressionism in the real world. Srishti started creating the artwork right from scratch.

She explained each step in a detailed manner concerning the textures in the Impasto technique.
