Gita Rash has been painting since the last 22 years. Having the privilege of living on three continents, Asia, North America, and Europe, has provided her the exposure to different landscapes, cultures, and ways of life. Her inspiration to paint, came, while on a trip to the South of France, retracing the footsteps of painters like Vincent Van Gogh, Monet, Picasso Renoir, etc. The beauty and tranquility of the Provence area, the colorful fields of Poppy and Lavender instilled in her a desire to capture all that magic, translating it on canvas with oil paints. The unique French architecture of the medieval age provided a profound backdrop for her creations. Her influence in art deeply reflects her vast travels in Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, and her appreciation of ancient cultures and civilizations. She has received training at Galerie Nabis in France and The Art Students League of New York.
Color expression is a big part of her creativity. What drives her to create, is an innate sense of expressing self, a need to stir the imagination, and assemble all ideas and inspirations. Above all, a desire to produce something for posterity.
