HEERAL TRIVEDI

Born in 1973 in Mumbai, Heeral studied painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts, M S University Baroda. Trivedi translates her life into a language of color and images,defining her own revelations and explorations of life. This underlying feeling remains same throughout her recent works and it carries on from one painting to another though the images and subjects tend to change and evolve. Growth, progression and reality seep through the colors and lure the viewer into this artist's private world.The process of change in Heeral's work goes hand in hand with her own transition in life. Whether if be the entering to a domestic lifestyle or the birth of her own child. The shift in priorities and perspective is evident and this draws one to the artists paintings.

By drawing on simple images, Heeral underlines the essence of the notion of the home and that of the homemaker. Her simple compositions are created with the presence of several images juxtaposing each other in a quiet harmony. Heeral’s  recent works are mixed media on board. The use of sequins along with watercolours, acrylic , gouache adds to the soothing nature of the works. The use of images and bright but subdued colours create a mood of mystery, sensitivity and an air of dreaminess. Most of her works have several different images woven into a single environment. Each having its own relation with the other, in terms of space and content.

Heeral Trivedi was awarded the National Scholarship, 1996-98 from the Ministry of Human Resources and the Gujarat Lalit Kala Akademi Award in Painting in 1998.
