Hi!
Nice to meet you! I'm Nav, the artist & illustrator behind the curtains of About Nature Design Studio. I'm also a mom, a full time urban planner and a nature enthusiast who loves making art to express the peace I find in nature. I'm exploring florals and botanicals in my current body of work, with the intent to bring calm & joy to an interior space wherever they'll rest.
Being a self-taught artist, my interactions with paint, colours and compositions have remained playful and experimental. I'm not inspired by a specific art movement or art style, which gives me the freedom to use my brushstrokes confidently in a way that feels familiar and evolving, to create a piece that breathes uniqueness and embodies my personality.
Doing Both | Illustrations & Canvas Art
I have decided to be non-exclusive when it comes to showcasing my art. I love to paint canvases, as much as I enjoy drawing on my ipad. The outcome are two different products, but the emotions and intellect guiding the artwork remains the same, the source is me.
It could be contradictory according to general art practices, but that is the beauty of art, isn't it! To challenge the conventional and bring to life an idea unexplored. While not completely revolutionary, but I believe I have to pave my own path and see where it goes!
My Studio!
Here I bring my ideas to life and spend time creating more than just artwork.
Painting Process
Acrylics are my go to and I love using filbert & flat brush sets. My secret to a beautiful artwork is to sketch with white watery paint as a base, which gives me the opportunity to play and create freely
Illustrating Process
I use Procreate on my IPad to draw using their original brush sets. My go to are the Oils Brushes, as I love the creamy depth these brushes bring. My illustration journey started in 2019 when I bought my IPad and I love how nice and crisp these illustrations come out when printed on paper and other products.
