About Sangeeta Babani
Ms. Sangeeta Babani was raised in Spain, a country with rich cultural heritage. Imbibing Spanish art and culture during her growing years led her to the ultimate initiation into Indian art and culture when she settled in Mumbai after marriage.
Sangeeta veers from figurative realistic to semi-abstract depiction, landscape to abstraction as the mood takes her. There are no straight answers and that is the beauty of life, is her firm belief; this philosophy is celebrated in her canvases with an exuberance of colour and emotion.
Characterised by an ambiguity, simultaneously introspective and impressionist in nature, her paintings come alive with vibrant hues and multiple thoughts in an engaging narrative. Interpretation becomes subjective and distinct from one viewer to another. The artist celebrates her journey to the unknown, leaving the onlooker to pursue his.
