ARTIST BIO
Pragya is a self-taught mixed media artist. She started playing with colors at the age of 5. Art is symphony of her life and her self expression. Through her art she likes to discover her boundless inner creativity and passion, as she constantly strives to communicate her inner self through it.
Pragya’s current work of art on watercolor paper and canvas is about women and nature. It focuses on the journey of being a woman and how everything about nature inspires her to keep doing what she loves.
She believes women need to be themselves in all the phases of life irrespective of what they are asked to be. They should embrace their imperfection because it makes them who they are.

ARTIST BIO
“透過繪畫，我把自己一一拼整回來，表達一則則烙印在心裡的故事。”Ting Wei Huang 就讀美國洛杉磯時尚設計學院主修時尚設計，並在2015年赴義大利佛羅倫斯Polimoda 服裝設計與行銷管理學院進修。Ting Wei的繪畫就像一篇篇的日記，藉由顏色的變化與柔軟的線條來敍說故事
Ting Wei Huang studied at FIDM in Los Angeles, USA, and majored in Fashion Design. In 2015, Ting Wei moved abroad and attended Polimoda Fashion Institute in Florence, Italy, and majored in fashion design. Ting Wei’s paintings are portrayed through the style of journal entries. She tells stories through changing color shades and elegant lines.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Ting Wei Huang作品傾向於傳達自我探討的意義與意象。擅長放大細微的感覺，抽象具體繁雜的內容，擁抱這份觸動，在創作裡享受著，跳舞與歌唱… 從小就愛繪畫的她, 藉由繪畫藝術傳達如何面對自己、了解自己，進而接受自己的過程。透過反覆動作的描繪手筆，不斷產生矛盾與掙扎，勾勒出她內心深處那些想被看見的輪廓。Ting Wei希望她的藝術作品可帶給人們一份喘息和沈澱的空間，靜下來去感受與擁抱生命中的美好。
Ting Wei Huang’s works are based on introspection. From abstract concepts to concrete stories, the content of her paintings consistently brings forth a variety of intricate details. While indulging in dancing and singing, the pure enjoyment lies within each creating process. Ting Wei found her love and passion in painting since a young age. The art of painting and creating provides a leeway for Ting Wei to dive into self-acceptance, self-understanding, and eventually, self-affirmation. Through her paintings she has tried to reflect her different feelings from happiness to struggle, she hopes that her work of art can make people embrace the real beauty of life.

Outer Beauty Is Inner Beauty Made Visible
Show runs September 17 2017 to October 7 2017
Artist Talk & Screening: 17 September 2017 Featuring: Kristine Huang / Pragya Borar
Kristine and I (Pragya) are good friends, artists and believers of Girl Power! We are putting up an art exhibition to express the inner and outer depths of being a women. We strongly believe in embracing the real you from within. And that Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself. First you love from within, then you can love the world!
We Love it when Women Love themselves!
We Love It when Women are learning to love themselves!
We Love it when women inspire other women to love themselves!
Through our art we hope to inspire women to embrace their real inner selves.
Kristine’s work portraits woman’s inner struggle and desire, also these paintings are her life diary, record of her own growth.
Pragya’s work tries to do justice to the fact that as a women we need to embrace our rawness openly and try not to constrain ourselves in the box.
Also we both believe the way you can get meaning in your life is to devote yourself in loving and helping others as much as you can. In the present time of massive humanitarian crisis both of us have decided to create a compassionate ripple in the world of half-asleep people through our soulful art to help fellow Syrians in their journey towards happy and peaceful future.
**60% of the money collected this exhibition will be donated to White Helmets.
“ 在創作時, 有時候我會莫名落淚, 有時候我會莫名開心, 我這才明白原來繪畫是一段尋找自我的旅程….”
Kristine 在20幅畫中, 探索女人內心的掙扎與慾望, 卻也同時發掘這些畫便是她人生的日記, 記錄著她的成長。Pragya 試著透過她的作品，鼓勵女人勇敢懷抱與接受自己的黑暗面，並努力跨出侷限自我的框架。
台灣女畫家Kristine Huang 和印度女畫家Pragya Borar共同描繪出她們所定義的”女人與自我”兩位藝術家用年輕女性的視角不但訴說著自己的故事, 其實更道出了我們的故事。
