Deeply connected with the Tamil culture, an artistic prodigy, who has forged a path of creative brilliance through avant-garde art experiments undertook a project centered around the revered Tirukkural. 16-year-old, Tarika Ram has skilfully conveyed its core into entrancing visual masterpieces, prolonging her expedition across numerous Kurals. Each creation mirrors her profound emotional connection with these age-old verses.
Collaborating with her mother and teacher, Ms. Diana Sathish, Tarika has infused chosen couplets with visual life through meticulous drafting. Her abstract expressionism brings personal connections to each Kural.
The world has embraced Tarika’s creativity with her painting “Two Views of Monsoon on Marine Drive” at Taj Mahal Palace received great acclaim. Her solo exhibition “Tirukkuralin Arivurai” in January 2023 at Cholamandalam Artists’ Village solidified her position.
