My name is Neha Kukreja and I'm a contemporary abstract fluid and mixed media artist from Toronto, Canada, with my roots going back to India. Having grown up in India, I have always been surrounded by color. As a child, that resonated with happy & positive vibes, thoughts, and feelings. I graduated from Laurentian university, Sudbury with a Bachelor honors degree in computer science and have had t
he opportunity to work with some of the best brains in the IT Consulting world. I have been an IT professional for the past 17 years and worked with Deloitte, one of the leading consulting firms worldwide. In today’s world, we are all dealing with our own battles and I am no exception. My go to stress buster is my passion for Color! I am so glad I found fluid acrylic pouring art a little over 3 years ago. It was my spiritual calling, that I was actively tuned into. The universe is conversing with us at all times and I am blessed to have tuned into the frequency to feel the vibrations with all my heart and energy. My desire to showcase my art with the world is a small attempt to share the same feelings of tranquil and serenity, that I experience and hope it will uplift someone’s mood even if just for a moment. The 'mantras' my art reflects is the inner awareness and awakening of the connection of my mind, soul and body, that together envision a creation that I am blessed to be able to portray. Each creation is a form of a mantra, as it reveals an inner voice that repeats to aid creativity! I am a fluid artist who enjoys working with acrylics, alcohol inks and Resin. The varying fluid consistencies are comparable to the curveballs life throws at us, and not knowing what hand we get dealt, it takes determination and grit to handle it with confidence. Playing with the varying consistencies in fluid art opens the door for so much more - dotting art/Blob art with thick consistencies, thinner pours leading to abstract creations, with more fluid runny consistencies, embellishments etc. sky is the limit! My happy place is my in-house studio where I am fortunate enough to be able to bring my imagination to life in the form of art, unleashing the stress! The medley of colors blending into one another, giving life to something unique and unexpected is such a therapeutic experience. Admirers of my work look at the mandala pieces I have made and applaud me for my patience, but to me it’s passion and the joy of creating happiness one canvas, one creation at a time! I draw my inspiration from the various chapters of life and am confident that I have the power to give my imagination a creative twist and being able to land it on canvas gives me immense joy and satisfaction. The beauty of abstract fluid art is that each piece would speak to an individual in its own unique way!
