As artists, we are seekers. If you stop seeking, you stop being an artist.’
Among India’s finest contemporary artists, Anjolie Ela Menon found prodigious expression when she was quite young and has since sustained a prolific and inventive creative output. India’s art scene can barely be imagined without her signature nudes and portraits, or her work with murals and glass. Most importantly, through the process of forging her own artistic identity, she has helped Indians, especially women, visualize their own selves.
The task of finding one’s calling, the bridge between just being and being alive, is not simple. Many people spend a lifetime looking for their purpose in vain. Most don’t even try. A rare few, however, find it early, naturally and instinctively. Menon falls into this privileged category.
Read on as Gunjan Jain unravels the mysteries behind what it means to be Anjolie Ela Menon.
