Indian artist\'s solo work exhibition

An exhibition of the works of Oman-based Indian artist Aparna Shere will be held at \'Mani\'s Café\' in Jawharat Al Shatti in Shatti Al Qurum from December 1 to December 4. Aparna is an artist \"by the nature and for the nature\". Her creations chiefly represent nature. Moreover, she has not learnt painting from any particular teacher at any particular time and began painting on her own and perfected the art.

She is a self-taught person and has got no formal training in fine arts. She has always believed that her paintings will represent positive values of nature which will be pleasing and soothing for a viewer. The word painting means a lot to her and she has been recognised by various publications in India and abroad. She is a proficient artist, specialising in historical themes and natural scenery using acrylic paints. This is Aparna\'s first exhibition in Muscat. Her exhibition\'s theme is on cafe paintings. Her paintings of famous personalities are displayed on coffee mugs and Omani monuments have been painted on ceramic plates.
