Title : Two Worlds

1. Created by GOD.  2. Created by Us.

Medium : Acrylic colours on chart paper

Size : 27 x 20 cm

Before the arrival of human and development of civilisation in earth.   The mother earth was full of FLORA and fauna, trees, bushes, wildlife, pleasant air and enough resources for the wild animal to sustain in mother earth. The ocean and river water were pure and fresh for sea creatures. However, development of human civilisation has cause destruction of nature, which is irreversible. The civilisation of humans has destroyed the Mother Nature. Due to the excessive deforestation, the original flora and fauna are being destroyed. As a result, the mother earth inhabitants have lost their original habitat due to environmental changes. Human greed and ignorance have resulted in conflict in the existence of other inhabitants.  Here, my painting describes two worlds one is created by God.  Due to the outbreak of Corona Virus (Covid-19) all over the world, the activity of human has stopped. Due to lockdown the social activities have stopped, the industries is not working, driving, riding everything is ceased thus the pollution is decreased. The earth is reviving. Air quality has improved immensely as if completely toxic air is filtered with pure air. Animals were roaming around freely as if the earth is breathing freely in the fresh environment. The coronavirus pandemic has had an unexpected transformation in cloudy canals, which have transformed into water crystal clear enough to see fish swimming below. The ozone layer above Antarctica has recovered.

The other one created by us.

The Coronavirus, which is a pandemic and threat to humanity. The virus outbreak is due to our own activity. The outbreak has stopped all activity of human, social gathering is stopped, transportation has stopped. People are hospitalised and mass death due to the disease. When human activity is stopped, the mother earth is healing restoring back to her true self.

My name is Nidhi Bhatt. I am a Company Secretary by profession and engage myself in any sort of artwork in my free time. I am not a professional artist but the national lockdown has given me an opportunity to indulge peacefully in my hobby.  So I was unsure which art form would look the best so this little piece ended up with a space for each one of them, a bit of Warli, a bit of Madhubani and few abstract patterns is what sums this up.

This particular painting shows that amidst the national lockdown when nature hurting activities of humans are minimum the nature is reclaiming its space !

Dr. Dherendra Sharma on his art :

Painting is cathartic experience for me , it is almost as if all the emotions in that time have been spilled on the canvas , specially in these difficult times of corona pandemic when we are so stressed out , painting is a happy way out to calm the senses .
