"Soul of the Wilderness" by Vandana Jain

Mixed Media and Acrylic

36'' by 36''

My paintings are a celebration of color in its most vibrant and soulful form. Working in mixed media and Abstract Realism, I layer inks, markers, gold leaf, acrylics, and textured surfaces to create works that bring nature alive — birds, animals, flowers, and landscapes that carry stories of resilience, renewal, and connection.

For me, color is pure energy. Deep blues calm the spirit, fiery oranges spark vitality, luminous pinks lift the heart, and radiant golds radiate light. Through bold textures and saturated hues, I don’t just paint what I see — I share what I feel: the wonder of flight, the stillness of a forest, the vastness of a horizon. Each piece is an invitation to pause, breathe, and let color work its quiet magic of transformation.
