Oil Painting & Resin Artist

Hi, I'm H A Priya, a self-taught artist. My gallery name, Anagha, means "sinless": "It's never a sin to love yourself and live a life for yourself."

 

I've been in love with art ever since I was a child. Although my educational journey took me in the direction of IT, and I graduated in that field, I always wanted to pursue further studies to become a graphic designer and follow my dream of working at Disney World. However, life took unexpected turns; I got married and became a housewife. In 2019, I began exploring oil painting and became interested in epoxy resin artwork.

 

Throughout my life, I have worked hard and faced many challenges to prove myself. I've often lived with others' interests in mind, only to face disappointment. It was my husband's love and trust that helped me find the importance of self-love. He always encouraged me not to expect anything from others or to sacrifice myself for them. This gallery is a tribute to his belief in my talent and to the potential he saw in my work.

 

I’ve always been self-disciplined, and no matter what obstacles life throws my way, I never give up. Each painting reflects my struggles, my life, and my resolve to stand strong. I add sparkles and glitter to my artwork as a form of therapy, helping me to carry on for my loved ones. I hope that my artistic style uplifts others' self-esteem and keeps their faith alive.

 

I create surreal oil paintings, including divine portraits, couple/women portraits, beautiful landscapes, oceans, flowers, and more, each representing different forms of love and healing. I use non-toxic paints, such as Gamblin Artist paints, for my oil paintings.

 

I also work with various mediums like epoxy clay, resin, healing crystals, and holographic glitter to create 3D resin artwork, paintings, and mixed media works that convey themes of healing, love, and self-acceptance.
