Anakha Nair painted at the Cannes Biennale of Contemporary Art in France.
An American Malayali Artist from Ottappalam has made her country proud and become the only Indian in the prestigious Cannes Biennale ongoing in France.
Anakha Nair is one of the 50 global artists selected as Cannes Art Show. As the sole representative of India, it marks her second appearance at a highly curated global art exhibition. The Cannes show will last until May 18.
Ms. Nair shows off her powerful new artwork titled “Tyche: The Mirror of the Carrier of Fortune”. The work is a unique mixture of oil, resin and 3-D acrylic acid, which is a visual metaphor for elasticity, transformation and intrinsic strength.
“This painting was born from the environment of life: moments of experimentation, transformation and resilience. Attracted by the name of Tyche, the Greek goddess of wealth, I found inspiration in her symbolic sense. However, I think she is not a distant god, but a reflection of the self, an embodiment of the self, our destiny, our own destiny and the creation of our own Fortune sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Tyche: The mirror of the wealth carrier.
Ms. Nair is a member of the American Federation of Arts and the International Arts Association Hindu From Cannes. “I’m very happy to be representing my country at Cannes,” she said.
The International Contemporary Art Cannes Biennale is a museum quality exhibition curated by Mamag Modern Art Museum and Paks Gallery as the Cannes Film Festival.
Last year, around the same time, Ms. Nair showed another piece of art in Cannes, Golden Sasha Hour, a vibrant piece made of ink, acrylic and golden paint.
Ms. Nair also represented India’s iconic Louvre Museum in Paris last October, showing her home court for the celebrity celebrity of Lisa del Giocondo, a currency-style California gas inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. The painting reconceives the original theme in a modern context.
Ms. Nair is a graduate student in engineering and product manager at a Dallas multinational company, and he is known in the United States for artists, dancers, yoga instructors and language instructors.
She is the founder and head of the Kalathrishna Center for the Arts in Dallas, Texas, and was founded in 2013. The center has grown to attract students from the United States, Canada, India and the United Arab Emirates.
Ms. Nair said it was a great blessing to be able to blend her passion and career.
