Red bleeds to white.... colours of the earth unite.
Shabnam Anand's art displays a sensitivity which is refreshing.
Almost photographic in their reproduction, the paintings balance delicately between reality and the surreal.
The transparent impression of lilies, poppies and other flowers are reflective of a deep inspiration. Her art reveals a spiritual bonding between herself and her chosen subject. Expressions of human emotion are superbly executed with skilful use of colour and composition; the fluidity of her style giving her floral images an almost tactile quality.
Her sensual watercolours and striking acrylics have earned her international recognition and commissions from leading business houses and hotels.
Based in Hertfordshire, England, Shabnam's art has found international appeal.
Her work is held in many private collections in countries as far away as Hong Kong, Singapore, India and Australia, from senior company executives to Royal members in the Sultanate of Brunei to name but a few.
Shabnam's technique of selective focus, that of a subject favoured from a blurred backdrop is unusual, and the collection, unforgettable.
