ALIFYA DARUWALA ~ PAINTER OF THE UNIVERSE

6 January 2011

ARTIST AND CALLIGRAPHER ALIFYA DARUWALA

Alifya loves art and drawing since childhood at an early age of 8..

“life seemed very much pleasant n fruitful when i ever knew myself to draw those landscapes at first which were purely my thoughts expressed in paintings…and that could never be interpreted by interactions…”

She loved doing space art when she was 10.. She admired the vast universe and galaxies and other various solar systems that existed in this region which knew no bounds…She was amazed for such “a wonderful creation by god ever made”…this increased her knowledge and motivated her to sketch different landscapes of planets with their moons.. She also practiced calligraphy of her own made words in different patterns and gave designs to it in her own style of creation….

This painting is titled Astronomical View

More works can be seen in the online gallery Passion of Art
