On the occasion, the founder of VeVa Art, Malavika Gaur said, “This exhibition highlights the women power in our country. Starting with the north zone, we would be soon travelling the show in different cosmopolitan cities in India and also will be presenting specially curated exhibitions of women artists from other zones too.”
“India needs more enterprises that promote art and culture. During the days of strife, art and culture is termed as soft diplomacy. Each citizen in this country should be a part of this soft diplomacy. In order to play that role effectively, the rich and affluent class in our society should come forward to promote and support art. Through ‘Five Elements’ VeVa Art initiates a new move to bring the Pune based art collectors and buyers on this platform for soft diplomacy. We aim at not only promoting artists in our region but also initiating the new age buyers into art collecting,” mentioned Jehan Kothary, the co-founder of VeVa Art.
The artworks in this exhibition will also showcase a stand on contemporary society and its double ended views on femininity.
