Art exhibition titled Fragrance of Life, the first solo paintings exhibition by Namrata Singh, started from January 17 at Park Gallery, Pulchowk.

“All the paintings in this exhibition are a reflection of my childhood, of Mahottari where I grew up; they are impressions of the Mithila arts and culture. I have also used many Mithila symbols of hope and luck in my paintings; they are a projection of positivity in a world full of negative energy,” says Singh.

Singh plays with the memories and impressions she had had growing up in the eastern Tarai district Mahottari, a popular destination of Mithila arts.

One can also see, in each of 22 paintings on display, the sublime aspects of women and the colour-rich palette of Mithila arts. The exhibition will continue till March 21.
