| Artist's Statement: | |
| Mamta’s artwork transforms original photographs, paintings and prints into digital works that combine the aesthetics of technology with a sense of spirituality and transcendental emotion. Mamta creates digital art through a process of montage, layering and multiple exposures, the final art works printed on paper and canvas. Her works dissolve the illusion of true space—she creates images in a dimension neither true to perspective, nor graphically flat; instead, the images exist in a sort of dream-place, where ephemeral figures appear as if born of air and imagination. These mystical images explore "the links between technology and emotion, reality and dreams, rationality and magic," and are digital composites which transcend the original work from which they were created. Manipulated skyscapes, images from nature, abstractions and portraiture are juxtaposed in these experimental works with a lyrical and surrealistic effect. | |
