Artist Statement:
Bindu P V does art in different styles and medium. She predominantly does
art in contemporary and abstract styles.
Her abstract works: The unbridled energy is poured as various physical
movements in forms of permutations and combinations of shift punches/ stamps/
falls/bangs etc. along with strokes, usage of various tools. The creations are
done in closed room where her body becomes one of the tools in her art works.
In some rare cases multiple media are also used, such as the usage of metal
foils like gold, aluminium etc. and biological objects like dried twigs.
Sometimes she does these works in the flow of the music. It is the music that
guides her selection on the multiple media to be used on the work, on an
impulse. Hence she says each of her non figurative abstract work is a once in
her life time art work, as she has no idea about the end result. Many time the
results surprises her.
Her Digital and other contemporary art work: Her contemporary works are
mostly related to social issues such as gender equality, using scientific
concepts such genetics. She ventured into digital art also for the purpose of the ease of conducting travelling exhibitions
for social causes under the pseudonym “Vchitraa” [meaning the strange one].

Her traditional paintings: She is a trained visual artist in many
traditional art forms from the contemporary masters in those art works. Works
are not just done on instructions based on books like Dhyanashloka but also
done with contemporary themes from abroad. Being trained in gold relief
traditional art forms, she mixes the styles in some cases to form her own style
of work based on traditional methodologies, for contemporary clients.
Bindu P V believes in learning, practicing, synthesising and conserving
the old while propagating the synthesised new based on the likes of the
contemporary and the value of the old. As a learner for life, she thinks one
should gregariously absorb skills and knowledge as much as one can, understand
it; because there is too much to learn from the world that hundred life times
would be insufficient to understand or learn. Hence she does not believe by
succumbing to the concepts of sticking to one style of art work etc. Versatility
is rare, and transition is a process for a lifetime, especially for an artist.
Life is a flow where one changes with time. Born in 1975, in a small
town in Kerala and raised up in different parts of India, Bindu was exposed to
the changes in culture from her childhood. Except for the trips to nearby
museum and art gallery on every weekend while staying a hostel, there was
hardly any exposure to art for this artist till her late teen age. She learnt
Oil painting as hobby from the senior sculpture and atist Shyamol Roy from
Calcutta School of Fine Arts, at Kolkata, India. She worked in the Information
Technology till recession brought a tough phase in her life personally and
professionally. Bindu switched over to her hobby of art at this stage. She
learnt various visual art forms such as Tanjore painting, Mysore painting,
Kerala Mural etc. With each studies her wish to learn more in art grew. At the
age of 39, she finished her post graduation in fine arts painting, at 40 she
constructed an art gallery "White Sanctum" (in Bengaluru, India) and
by the age of 43 she was a gold medallist in conservation and a postgraduate in
museology too. Today she promotes art and deserving artists, involves in
international art and cultural exchange, transmits knowledge on various
art forms, safeguards intangible and tangible culture and art, conserves
cultural objects and natural history objects writes as well as researches on
art and culture. Her art gallery is curated by self and all artists are welcome
there.
