Lovleen Aulakh
Mixed media artist
Art comes very naturally to me…always has! But it has been a lifelong struggle to find dedicated time and space for art to happen. Social distancing during Year 2020 was a blessing in disguise as I restarted my meditative art practice and decided to pursue Art full time. I now create unique mixed media paintings at my studio in North West Austin, TX
About Me
"Who am I?"
"What am I doing?"
I ask myself almost everyday.... and everyday the answer is different but same. I am a seeker on a journey of self realization. I feel instead of working hard to create art, I need to work harder to follow my inner guidance and create a beautiful, meaningful, inspired life.... and than only art flows through me.
I lived in New Delhi, India for almost half of my life before moving to Austin,TX . I studied Architecture at one of India's most prestigious architecture school, worked with some of the best minds in sustainable design, became director at a construction company and completed my masters in regenerative design. Only to leave it all to pursue a simpler, peaceful, harmonious life.... of an artist ???
I love traveling and spending time in nature. I enjoy my solitude but I value time spent with my family & friends. My best days are the ones where I can feel connected to the source, creator, divine, light within whatever you want to name it. I try my best to contemplate on life and express it through my art.
Artist Statement
Art is a way for me to connect with my inner self. My best art is created when I am in my meditative flow. I approach my fluid ink abstract paintings without any set image and try to become one with the flow of colors. With my contemplative mixed media spiritual abstract paintings, I try to explore and understand universal spiritual themes like devotion, surrender, solitude, grace, peace, oneness, etc.
In 2022, I released a collection of figurative spiritual paintings titled ‘Fakeeri - Light Within’ that I had started painting in 2020. It explores the connection of ‘light within us’ represented by the glowing female form with the one divine light. I use inspirations, colors, and vocabulary from many different faiths including my own, Sikhism. The red ‘Soul Bride’, the blue ‘Spiritual Trance’, ‘Bliss’, and ‘Noor’ inspired by twirling Sufi Dervish are just some of the artworks in this series. This year I am working on a series of Peacock paintings titled 'Graceful Surrender' . You can read more about this series on my blog or follow me on instagram.
