Artist Statement
Spriha is a mixed media artist using iconic symbolism to exemplify concepts close to her heart that are influenced by personal, societal and environmental changes. Strongly influenced by her Indian cultural roots she is fearless in her use of colors and weaves them into her creations.
At the core of Spriha’s artistic existence lies a profound commitment to maintaining the delicate balance of nature. Through her brush, she eloquently expresses the urgency for collective awareness and action in the face of climate change. Her art urges every individual to confront and comprehend the harmful effects of global warming, working collaboratively toward a future where the world remains a canvas of rich, vivid colors rather than succumbing to a grey, lifeless fate.
Practicing intuitive painting, Spriha’s work becomes a journey through layers of texture, rhythm, and movement—a profound interpretation of the natural world. Layering acrylic paints with an array of elements such as modeling paste, gels, tree bark, cheesecloth, and paper, she crafts compositions that possess both depth and fluidity giving a second life to them. Having a tactile quality to her work she invites you to view her creations with all senses engaged at their fullest.
Her hope is that each piece inspires viewers to uncover beauty in unexpected places and, more importantly, to nurture and protect the very earth that serves as the canvas for her vibrant tales. Through her art, Spriha extends an invitation to embrace the unexpected, appreciate the beauty around us, and become stewards of the earth we all call home.
