It was remarkable being part of a collaboration of art, music cinema, fashion and food organized by Chevis Studio’s events in both New Delhi and Mumbai India. Accompanied by the contemporary fusion music of Mrigya, I had the thrilling opportunity to paint portraits of both live muses: Bollywood Actress Nargis Fakrih, who has recently appeared in Imtiaz Ali’s movie Rockstar, and Kingfisher Calendar Supermodel Angela Jonsson. Moreover, featured in the “Art Foyer” of these Chevis Studios parties were installations by prestigious artist Paresh Maity and works by celebrated fashion photographer Jatin Kampani whose captivating photos have been featured in Bazaar, Elle, Maxim, Marie Claire and Vogue. What a great experience to share and create with such talent in India.
