Druvinka Madawela at Barefoot Gallery

Druvinka is evolving. From one moment to the next, she transforms. What may take years for us is apparently seconds for her. In this way Druvinka is becoming.

Evolving herself becomes part of evolving for everyone else.  We ‘become’ when we look at her paintings. Her paintings are visual objects that elicit unique and personal responses but, it is only MAYA, an illusion. This is the spiritual world that Druvinka inhabits — We are all here and this illusion, be it in the form of music, poetry or painting conspire to act as extraordinary vehicles to move us out of the ordinary, mundane world. Moment to moment.

Druvinka is the instrument, the body that drives, translates the paintings so we can become. Tirth Yatra: A journey to the hidden entrances of the extraordinary world. And so it continues.
