I was only interested in painting what my deepest inspiration told me to do. And the eternal quest vibrated in my soul about eternity, love and how to live these emotions in everyday life,” says Rozália Hummel, a spiritual painter from Hungary, who has displayed her paintings at ‘From Yamuna to Babba: Myths and Legends from India and Hungary’.
Rozália's ideology is to introduce the cosmic body of the river Yamuna, considered as Goddess of North India, and Babba Mária (also named Magari Babba), the Mother Goddess of Central Europe together.
“This exhibition, I see it as a wonderful play of my first and last paintings and share the joy with you so as to be able to understand some excerpts about life, during the time. This show would allow you to see within yourself and be conscious about what you perceive from the outside world, giving a hope to get full harmony of the body, mind and soul,” says Hummel.
She is an accomplished artist specialising in Indian Miniature and Nathadwara style of paintings.
Geeta Govinda, Madhurashtakam and Yamunashtakam have inspired a series of paintings by her.
Hummel started her artistic career in south of France, in 1979, guided by the most brilliant personalities of the French Riviera and visited India in 1981 for the first time.
Later on, she shifted to Paris to live and exhibited her work in 1987 in Salon des Artists Francais and Salon d Automn.
In 1989, the Hungarian Information and Cultural Centre in collaboration with Alliance Francaise, New Delhi invited her to exhibit her art works namely, ‘Christ to Krishna…’ and since then, she continued her association with India to discover Indian art and philosophy and spent a major part of her life, in India and South Asia.
The exhibition will be on view till November 28 (weekdays from 10 am - 4 pm, Saturdays till 5 pm) at Hungarian Information and Cultural Centre, Janpath.
