Artwork Description

Title: Trying Not to Disappear
Medium: Oil Pastel & Acrylic on Paper
Size: 18 x 24 inches
Trying Not to Disappear is a deeply expressive work on paper that captures a raw emotional intensity through bold color and movement. Created using oil pastel and fluid acrylic, the piece blends vibrant tones of red, orange, pink, blue, and green in an unfiltered, almost urgent composition.
The textured layers and loose gestures evoke a sense of vulnerability and presence—an internal dialogue between fading and holding on. The contrast between the raw pastel marks and flowing acrylic forms suggests both fragility and resilience, making this piece a powerful visual reflection on identity, emotion, and the act of staying visible in moments of inner struggle.

Her work is deeply rooted in her personal journey of self-discovery and the pursuit of inner contentment. Through sweeping shapes, vibrant colors, and intricate layered textures, her pieces invite viewers to explore both visual and emotional depth, offering a space for personal interpretation and connection.

At the core of Poonam’s artistic practice is a focus on capturing ephemeral moments, reflecting the tension between stillness and motion, and the fragile balance of being. Her paintings serve as portals into the unspoken, where every brushstroke reveals both personal and universal truths. Working primarily with high-quality acrylics, she uses the medium's fluidity and depth to create multilayered works that evoke a sense of movement and emotional complexity.

Color plays a pivotal role in Poonam’s work, where contrasting hues vibrate and interact to mirror the complexity of human emotions. Her paintings reflect the delicate equilibrium between transformation and stability, emphasizing the transient nature of life and the beauty in impermanence.
