If you look closely, each painting hints at a cloudy sky, a storm breaking, a mountain peak, or the cosmos. The abundance of emotion and energy in nature are echoed in her artwork.</p><p></p><p>Soraya looks to nature to find colour, pattern, and composition that she then translates to canvas in a unique and delicate way. Influenced by fearless masters of colour such as Jonas Gerard and Michael Lang, Soraya strives to create interplay of light and dark hues, experimenting with colour, form, and shadow. Smooth textures and blended colour are key elements of Soraya's work.</p><p>Much like the masters, Soraya looks to nature to supply mood and evoke a sense of wonder and awe. The use of chiaroscuro (contrast of light and dark) is a key tool in creating this sense of grandeur and majesty.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpy7Bm0KVjnF3Rkm_cKbdtslASZ7zbrj_acEDVIvReprz5nF5Dcuk-qg_J5LsLRuDf5VQmL9sQkqBUwQTk-Nn4Ecghahlw9ghFkPghfE-fNJIUI9JYKasKwQZvcmhX20VJ5DkoJivigauU/s858/Soraya+Portrait+for+Art+adjusted.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="858" data-original-width="705" height="433" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpy7Bm0KVjnF3Rkm_cKbdtslASZ7zbrj_acEDVIvReprz5nF5Dcuk-qg_J5LsLRuDf5VQmL9sQkqBUwQTk-Nn4Ecghahlw9ghFkPghfE-fNJIUI9JYKasKwQZvcmhX20VJ5DkoJivigauU/w356-h433/Soraya+Portrait+for+Art+adjusted.png" width="356" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><u>Education:</u></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">No formal education other than high school art class.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Running away from the turmoil,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the vast endless universe,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
found myself one with chaos,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
caught in circumstances adverse.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking for some help from outside,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I searched for years altogether,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To look beyond the visible,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some courage I had to gather.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Found something liberating,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with no explanations ever made,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
chaos becomes stability,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after chains of wishes fade.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To discover your own self,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a new journey starts from here,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
travelling within forever,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but not to reach anywhere.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No escape is needed,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from the universe around,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the same lies within,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what on outside surround.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Ink started to flow off the pen,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
leaving its mark on the paper,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It would be a long journey,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thinking that made my words waver.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then the joy of writing,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
got mixed with ink,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
heart is lifted by beauty of words,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fear of failure started to sink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Slowly the mind got tired of story,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the nib got worn out of writing,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Reins over mind are lost to ambiguity,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as thoughts inside the mind start fighting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After writing for months,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
managed to reach half-way,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
under piles of words and thoughts,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I forget what I wanted to say.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started again but this time,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fierce intensity filled the pen,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I could write the words but,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
couldn't make them breath again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Money said "let me give it a try",</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fame said " Why should I be behind?",</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the ink started to shine as if of gold,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it was short lived and confined.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Helplessness came to the rescue,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fueled the ink like no other,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wrote for the love of freedom,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but negativity came to smother.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To keep going I tried a million reasons,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to stop, there was only one,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then I realised, I ought to write,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the only reason that it was once begun!</div>

Travelling in a giant ship,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
surrounded by waters strange,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
far far away the bright Sun shone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The long journey can boggle,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and render the mind lifeless,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the Sun can give the warmth,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but cannot be reached by the flightless,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some enthusiasm is needed every moment,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to make the obsoleting life thrive,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Blank canvas, like blank mind,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wonders how it would finally find,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
colourful thoughts to dance on its surface,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and an artist so kind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kind enough to spend some time,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
choosing among colours rouge, azure or lime,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
put these into a beautiful landscape,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or paint some memories from his prime.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His prime focus is to pick up the brush,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and decorate the canvas without any rush,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he had the talent, but couldn't create,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as a river of inexpression, towards his mind gush.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gushed in with immense and formidable force,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the artist tried to defend, couldn't judge its source,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stayed there for next few months,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gradually inexpression was succeeded by remorse.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remorse pronounce enough to suspend,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the creativity that was naive to transcend,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the mountain of fear, doubt and uncertainty,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and to imagine what waits on the other end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
End reminded him, why did he start,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the commotion of the outside world, instilled a spark,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from within his soul came a voice,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
'This is your moment to leave your mark.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mark my words, I free you from hesitation,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You have been already chosen by the creation,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to be born from your brush dancing over the canvas,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Canvas like life, becomes alive with a touch of Inspiration!'</div>

How far can one reach, to fulfil their dreams,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When they remain silent, and their impeccable flair screams,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not every year, day or hour, but, every moment they spend,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thinking and working, to accomplish what they intend,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every bliss, every distress, on the way they face,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
makes their journey even more, worthwhile to retrace,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
First destiny takes over them, its will they defy,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to change the reality, on their dreams they rely,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After tireless combat, finally they taste the victory,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the writer's pens are ready, to write the history,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like a proud mother, Destiny blesses them and smiles,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She Laurels them on covering countless unendurable miles,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How far one can reach, to fulfil their dreams,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Destiny wants to witness, their odds and extremes.</div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Living inside a little house among meadows,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seeing the world outside through two windows,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How beautiful did the world seem,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All looked nice, and nobody mean.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One day while peeping outside, a thought came,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't know it was a wise one or just lame,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why not step outside, to breath in some fresh air,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and find out that wavy road, led to where?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally stepping outside, after being home-bound,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Could not stand up on shaking legs, thus crawled to ground,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Got up with difficulty, once who was beguiled,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again learnt to walk, like a child.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On seeing other people, they were all different,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Outside calm and friendly, inside belligerent,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They just wanted to get their work done,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
reap all the wealth of the world and share with none.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was meant life, behind the curtains was just a game,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thoughts of players fighting for honour, money and fame,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overtaking each other, gave them pleasure and bliss,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
actually going deeper into a hopeless abyss.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nerves of their brains, sharper than the edges of sword,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They want to feather their nests, more than they could afford,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alas, all the cards were disclosed, in the blind fold game,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kept quiet, but their reputation did not remain the same.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Came back running, towards the warm light,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Entered the little house before shutting the door tight,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Walked to the windows, again to peep outside,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lives life keeping the three trump cards aside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
After the orange sun on the horizon goes down,<br />
before the sky is ready in its shining black gown,<br />
I wake up to another morning,<br />
and walk in the streets of a magical town.<br />
<br />
I see colours merge and evolve,<br />
I see life dance and revolve,<br />
around the streets full of art,<br />
there I see rules of the world dissolve,<br />
<br />
Music I hear and sing, is unheard,<br />
I write, words that in my mind are stirred,<br />
I work till my brain is overtaken by sleep,<br />
like a restless and adamant nocturnal bird.<br />

Hello Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope you all doing great! </div>

I have been away for about 2 months. This year has been very busy to start with. Maybe finally I get some time to paint one unfinished oil on canvas this weekend. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I am sharing few clicks from mobile camera. The subjects have been abandoned flower pots and leaves in the backyard. The focus is on the composition rather than picture quality. It is very different from routine DSLR photography, but helps one to look at your subjects from a different prospective.</div>

Hello Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It has been a sad day as we lost our dear Scooby. A loss hard to heal. May his soul rest in peace.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wherever have you been,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A soul devoid of malice and sin,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still feel as if you are jumping,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with your excitement thumping,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then you wag your tail,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Follow my steps without leaving a trail,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You hug me bouncing high,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I never asked why,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With your tongue sticking out,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Listened calmly if I shout,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking at me through those brown eyes,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
guarding the gate like wise,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Moving stuff around the house,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Relentlessly chasing a mouse,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With all your mischievous deeds,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you sew some deep rooted seeds,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today empty is the feel,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With hard time we have to deal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can't believe if its true,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
how badly we miss you.</div>

Surrounded with dust and cloud,<br />
Thunders yelling out loud,<br />
Creator's thought does not seem clear,<br />
Place of peace is taken by fear.<br />
<br />
Light flickering bright and dim,<br />
Burning inside and cold on rim,<br />
The universe forgets its gait,<br />
Twisted turn takes its fate.<br />
<br />
Mist dies out into burning sparks,<br />
Lights are set free to efface the darks,<br />
Mesmerising events happening not so far,<br />
Out of primordial chaos is born a star.<br />
