Swarnalatha Natesan

N. Swarnalatha was attracted by colours even as a young girl. Hence it was a natural transition from a sensitive girl to an intense artist who revels in transforming her insightful thoughts and experiences into kaleidoscope expressions that convey a thousand meanings. Though most of her creations are based on acrylic, she also dabbles in other mediums and techniques of art
Smt. N. Swarnalatha is perhaps the only prolific woman artist in India who has contributed immensely to women’s issues and a wide range of compelling social causes through the medium of fine arts. Artist Swarnalatha is the harbinger of a new trend that employs fine arts to convey powerful messages about myriad social issues impacting global citizens. She has created an exclusive collection of thought-provoking and soul stirring paintings that depict the status of women in contemporary society, bringing to the fore not only the stark realities that assail women but also the indelible impact of social injustice, exploitation and discriminative treatment on their psyche.

Her paintings have been appreciated world-wide for their captivating portrayal of the innermost feelings of angst and sufferings of women’s pained hearts, yet filled with love and devotion to humankind. A large part of her artistic creations are endowed with a compelling social message such as crime against women, sexual harassment, infanticide and child abuse, substance abuse, especially smoking campaigns, environment preservation and campaign against wars. Swarnalatha stands as a sterling example of a sensitive artist who effectively combines her philanthropic fervour and ingenuity on canvas, executing her responsibility as a socially conscious and patriotic citizen. Her unique human images with classic features capture the intrinsic human reactions to diverse stimuli in a society undergoing rapid transition.

Swarnalatha’s paintings bring alive techniques and images of India’s rich cultural heritage, which form the backdrop of her themes. A riot of colours and images of celestial birds and animals as well as inspiration drawn from Indian epics and priceless ancient Indian literature add richness to her unique creations of contorted figurines and figures that convey the message she chooses to deliver, lending a rare beauty to her canvas
