The Wrighter Reviews: "The Storm is Over" - art by Rooma Mehra

by Rooma Mehra

This painting was recently created by contemporary artist, Rooma Mehra, who has been interviewed and featured on The Wrighter before (see her works and interview on "Today's Artist: Rooma Mehra").

The title of this piece is called "The Storm is Over."

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? This piece looks like the storm just got warmed up and that you're about to pass out holding your breath waiting for this bad boy to be over.

I absolutely love Mehra's use of color, the bold in your face contrast against of smoldering shadows, choking the corners of light.

It reminds me a lot of a forest fire - not like the ones in the desert by me, but in the woodlands where deer are leaping frantically over logs and down hill following the sounds and smells of a river using distance as refuge.

The white ghost-like clouds...

Scream

by Rooma Mehra


Sometimes

the best sound

the ear can hear

is silence…



And then

Sometimes

it is not

because

sometimes

silence

speaks volumes

of what was kinder

…unheard…



And while

such volumes

are indeed wiser

..heard..

this perishable humanity

would be better off

with kindness

that stems from

courageous anger

than wisdom

born of disillusionment

and cynicism.



So, thank you, dear Lord,

for those umpteen bystanders

who...

Rooma Mehra is an artist who has faith in the power of nature, God and positive energy of life. "Expect a miracle. Have faith and hope. Because night is darkest just before dawn.. and you or I do not hold the brush that colors the night and the day. Just expect to wake up to one miracle morning, as an unreasonably happy person. It will happen inevitably when you have reached the end of your tether. When God and peace have begun to appear like bleak dreams that only fools believe in. Dream of that morning, it will come." This artist statement elucidates her beliefs.

This belief resonates in Mehra's works, whether it is her paintings, drawings or sculptures. Her style is fluid and colors vibrant echoing her positive attitude. She is not restricted by styles or palette each work reflects her individuality and her perception of the subject.

The artist lives and works in Delhi.
