Saraswati

My work

 

Saraswati was born in France, but she was educated until her tens by her grand-ma in the wildness of the Don's plains in Russia, far from the Western civilisation, school, and consumer habits. She has gone to the school for the first time when she was nine and at her tens she arrived in Geneva. She was craving during many years for the wildness of the wide plains and the beauty of sunsets in summer, the snow's tempests and the cristallin purity of air in winter during sunny days when all was perfectly white and silent.

This experience has make a huge influence on her adult life.
She discoverd art after her arrival in Switzerland and she began to paint with oil colors since her teens.
In the first period of her artist life she used the assumed name Chanka and exhibed her works in Brussels(Belgium), in Kinshasa (Congo) and in Geneva.

She lived 10 years in Tahiti and performed during this time a decorative plexiglas pannel in the Social Security of Papeete and many exhibitions of her works.

In 1990 she painted 3 large frescos in Cognac Jay Fondation in France near Geneva.

In 1979 for her birthday she get the revelation of the Light Divine when she was reading for the first time the first page of "Mother's Conversations" at this exact minute her life changed dramiticaly and she knew with certitude that she was waiting that all her life. In 1991 the artist recieved the name of Saraswati in the South of India from a very close disiple of Sri Aurobindo, Champaklal and at the same time she changed her technique and way of painting because she was influenced by her inner research and quantum physicists like David Bohm and Fridjof Capra fitting to her own experience. She made some exhibitions in Auroville based in the South of India where she was living for few years.

She also performed during this time 30 oil paintings, wood pannels and a 6 meters diameter stained glass project for a copy of a German Middle-Age's Castle, Amrutha Castle in Hiderabad.

In 1995 she made a one year exhibition in Paris, Gallery Breda.
In april 1999 she shows her works on a Gallery Online for one month, and in june she was selected for an national art exhibition in Saint-Etienne (France) and she has shown her works in the Gallery "Orange Bleue".
The artist was also on the Art Market of Grenoble and the Lyon's Art Market of Creation in France.

She was member of the regional Lyon's Art Association M.A.P.R.A.

Saraswati was selected during the poster's competition: 'Benedictine 2000', organized by the famous French spirit brand 'Benedictine'. Her work was exposed for one year on the 'Benedictine's website in year 2000. 

She was selected with 20 other artists to represent the 'Rhone-Alpes' regional art on the virtual gallery La Galerie Française.

She is also represented permanently on Art in Context,  the New York Council Art Library.
In January 2000, Saraswati was interwewed by the New York's Art magasine 'StudioNotes' 

and in 2002 she won a medal during an exhibition in France. Saraswati was focusing on the research on the several levels of the energetic patterns that are surrounding living beings and earth and she developed the emphatic connection with the world. She was working in connection with the Angelic Entities and she was painting them in Auroville when they allowed her to reproduce their energetic pattern. She was connected to these entities through certain Aurovillians surrounded by some invisible helpers in the mental, vital or subtile physical levels She has done an art exhibition on Angels in September 2000 at Pitanga, art gallery in Auroville.
Saraswati was living for a while in Ireland where she was working in a Dublin's psychiatric hospital doing art therapy, spiritual healing, massage, beauty therapy and yoga.
She is also a web designer and she mixes her artistics skils with the I.T technology.

Saraswati was allways feeling herself like an alien on earth and feeling that there is a different time, space and existence not overpowered by suffering and death. It takes some time for her to accept her own solitude. She descovered that the real communication is beyond the words, it is in the silence of our body, the silence of our cells. some of her writings
