Asmita Duranjaya

I paint, create, construct since my early childhood:
Art has always been a balance for my inner mental condition and a way to handle my feelings and to express myself in a nonverbal way. Making art has always been a kind of mental oxygene for me. Beside surrealism and the genres of portrait and stilllife, I like to create applied art, like book covers, event posters, cards etc. According to my faible for computer work I have more and more specialised in digital painting (tablet pen on an HP tablet laptop) and collage (several graphic software). I enjoy and discover more and more the possibilities, which the virtuality offers for artists to work in 3D.
