Shivani Mathur is a wonderfully talented young artist from Delhi, India who currently lives in Dubai, UAE. Shivani's paintings have a life of their own. They are rich, vivid, elegant and mystical. She has created a niche for herself in the discipline of oil painting. Shivani's brushstrokes have a languid appeal to them. Lavish use of bright color hues in many of her paintings has a breath-taking effect on the observer. In many of her works, Shivani pays tribute to the feminine form, be it in the shape of a woman or Mother Nature. The figures appear as if they know the secret of the universe and are swaying to it in delight! She manages to serenade her paintings and such magic effect is possible only when an artist is completely in sync with herself. Several of her paintings have a potent message; she subtly uses a riot of colors and definite brushstrokes to convey her point of view. Little Shivani was besotted with the world of painting and related art forms. Her aspiration and flair were gladly encouraged by her family. Through her school days she earned umpteen accolades for her work. She followed her dreams and obtained a Master degree in Arts with specialization in 'Oil Painting' under the table guidance of her Professor and renowned contemporary Indian artist Mr. Ashwini Kumar Sharma. 'Shivani enjoys creating vibrant artworks with lavish use of colors and sweeping brush strokes. In contrast to the bold expressions to canvas, Shivani comes across as a quiet artist who'd rather let her works do the talking.' - Source, 'Young & Trendy' a magazine published from Dubai.
