Today is just like another working day, bright & beautiful but the other part of the world is celebrating this day with lots of bright colors. This is a festival in India which is celebrated as "HOLI" - where everyone paints each others face by colors and mark the beginning of good times by burying all negativism. As born & brought up in India, I am totally missing playing it with friends & family. So much of fun! The colors used are usually both dry & wet. I remember how much I used to love those wet color remains on my face even after bath!
Today, March 08th is also celebrated as Women's Day, a celebration of respect, appreciation & love. And both these things, the colorful playful holi images and women's day just make me think & admire the work of artist Francoise Nielly. She is a Paris based artist who has a very inspirational story behind her huge success. Her passion for colors & vibrant expressive paintings has made her one of the eminent artists all over the world.
I loved her collection for the fashion world too! Strong, vibrant, colorful, bold & beautiful.
You can watch her create these massive portraits in a video posted on her site http://www.francoise-nielly.com/index.php/francoise_nielly.
I think there can be nothing more colorful than Francoise Nielly's work to celebrate both Women's Day & Holi.
Wish you a very happy cheerful Women's day & Holi! Hope you have a wonderful celebration.
Uhuuu
