BIOGRAPHY:
As Havisha was growing up, the vivid colours and many cultures of her native Mauritius
surrounded her. Her early fascination with the island’s pristine waters, verdant tropical woods, and breathtaking coral reefs stemmed from her admiration for its natural beauty. Havisha started experimenting with various mediums and styles as she grew older and realized how dedicated she was about the arts. She discovered that she was especially drawn to painting portraits because she was fascinated with the process of expressing a subject’s soul and essence on canvas. Her ability to capture the distinct personalities and feelings of her subjects, coupled with meticulous attention to detail, is what sets her work apart. Havisha still has a strong attachment to her own country and the setting that initially motivated her to pursue painting. Her paintings have a certain warmth and liveliness that comes from her constant inspiration of Mauritius’ natural beauty and cultural legacy.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
As an artist, I think that genuine self-expression demands a readiness to embrace
vulnerability and delve into one’s own innermost thoughts. I aimed to precisely do this with my most recent self-portrait series, “Pieces of Me.” Every picture in the series is a window into a distinct aspect of my own mind and a reflection of the wide range of feelings and events that have shaped the person I am today. My careful attention to balance and detail is another factor that contributes to my ability to create visually spectacular and profoundly meaningful photographs. In my experience, the process of writing “Pieces of Me” has been extremely intimate and has called for self-openness and vulnerability. I’m able to produce photographs that serve as both a commentary on the state of humanity and a mirror of my own experiences thanks to this process of reflection and self. examination. In the end, I want my art to have a profound and significant impact on the audience, encouraging them to consider their own feelings and experiences in a fresh and original way. I think I’ve succeeded in doing just that with “Pieces of Me,” producing a sequence of pictures that are strikingly beautiful and powerful, speaking profoundly and memorably to the common human experience.
