Artist Statement

Although Amolika has an appreciation for realism, her art follows quite a different path. Instead of trying to capture subjects in perfect condition, or as they look in real life, she focuses on the imperfections and individuality of each subject. Among the prominent characteristics of her work are bold outlines that overlap to create gaps revealing colour. This approach makes every piece unique and somewhat graphical rather than realistic. Amolika believes that the most admirable parts of the tangible objects she paints are imperfections, so she strives to create the same effect in her work.

Biography

Since she was very young, Amolika Mankidy spent much of her time creating art. Through two moves taking her across Canada, art remained a constant in her life. In the last few years, she has put a larger emphasis on art and now dedicates as much time as she can towards it. Now a senior in high school, she continues to create new pieces, primarily watercolour, when she is not doing schoolwork or spending time with her family.
