Baljit Balrow
I graduated with an Art Degree in 1998. My work, widely discussed my cultural identity then and continues to inspire my work today.
I grew up with a seamstress mother, who engulfed us in rich uncompromising colour, through textiles, flavours and music; influenced by her migration from India in the sixties. My father was a collector of random finds and antiquities, which encouraged my love of objects and their stories. The older I become, the more I am inspired by these memories and my cultural roots. They recharge my senses.
My Art is intuitive. Memories are drawn upon, colour is used to express an emotion or tell a story for that moment.
