experience means divorce from old symbolism and an unromantisized evocation of the past. This requires strong mind and ability to withstand the nostalgic pressure, which often drives you to depression. This kind of rare ability is seen in Vaishali’s painting career of last few years. This young artist has a subtle mind of a thinker and she has an original expression.

                        What she does as her style or what technique she applies as her technique is little less important for me. What is more significant is she is able to catch one of the unseen yet experienced dimension called "THE TIME" which oscillates within her paintings. I was astonished when I first encountered with Vaishali’s one of the paintings;, though painted on a square canvas it was able to reflect circular motions of time all over. The time, like a flowing wind and/or some time like oozing fluid which encompasses everything and has eaten away all that great history and is engulfing away second, our present is the genesis of Vaishali’s art.

                    She freezes the time and unfolds it as if excavated fossilized wind, which was buried under the earth a few thousand years back. It is very interesting to note here that the subject matter of her art is, the day to day events that happen in every middle class family, in the one room kitchen apartment of the new metropolitan culture, in city like Mumbai. "My middle class family experience inspired me to paint; says Vaishali. The frame of the door and the household interactions inside, therefore became for me the buried world. I started exploring and excavating my own day to day experiences" To me, Vaishali’s art is more like a ‘leap in the dark’, towards a journey of self-discovery. The figures and forms that she draws fade away under the wrinkled texture that she deliberately uses as a medium and then what stands out is the form of the fourth dimension – ‘the time’. " The figures are the ‘Sagun–Sakar’ and the time that reflects is the ‘Nirgun’ Nirakar’ and in between is my routine, mundance and repetitive middle class life, that’s how I look at it" Vaishali sums up.
