ABOUT THE ARTIST

Salma Arastu was born in Rajasthan, India. She has been painting for more than thirty years. Her work with continuous and lyrical line is influenced by her native culture and her residence after marriage in Iran and Kuwait before coming to the US in 1987. She has exhibited her work in India, the USA and Europe. Many of her works are in private and public collections. In addition to her prolific painting, Ms. Arastu has also written several published works of free verse poetry and short stories in her native Hindi.

 

At birth, Ms. Arastu was given the life-defining challenge of a left hand without fingers. Seeing the unity of an all-encompassing God, she was able to transcend barriers often set forth in the traditions of religion, culture and the cultural perceptions of handicaps.
