The Artist's Journey

Born amidst the vibrant colors and rich traditions of India, Daamitha's artistic soul was nurtured by the cultural heartbeat of South Indian traditions. Currently pursuing her medical studies in London while maintaining her artistic practice, she has created a beautiful fusion of Eastern heritage and contemporary expression.

Daamitha bridges the analytical precision of her medical studies with the emotional depth of oil painting. Her canvas becomes a meeting place where traditional Indian philosophy meets Western technique, creating works that speak to the universal human experience while celebrating her cultural roots.

The Oil Painting Process

Cultural Inspiration: Each painting begins with a memory, a song, or a moment of cultural reflection. I sketch while listening to traditional Indian music.
Canvas Meditation: Premium Belgian linen is prepared with multiple layers of rabbit skin glue and oil-based primer, creating a luminous foundation.
Color Alchemy: Hand-mixed oil pigments create custom colors inspired by Indian spices, desert sunsets, and English gardens.
Layered Storytelling: Each layer is applied using traditional glazing techniques, building depth and luminosity over weeks of careful work.
Soul Integration: The final details are painted while singing traditional songs, infusing each piece with cultural memory and personal journey.

Musical Heritage & Artistic Vision

The traditional songs of South India flow through my veins like paint through a brush. Each morning, I begin with vocal practice – ancient melodies passed down through generations of women in my family. These songs, with their complex ragas and emotional depths, directly influence the rhythm and color choices in my oil paintings.

My art is not just visual; it's synesthetic. The warm oranges and deep crimsons in my paintings echo the passionate notes of Karnataka classical music. The flowing brushstrokes mirror the melodic phrases of traditional folk songs. When you view my work, you're not just seeing a painting – you're experiencing the musical soul of South India translated through oil and canvas.
