"The Spring Show" is a collection of works by 17 Fulton Crossing studio artists and creatives. The inspiration for this exhibit is the beauty surrounding Sonoma County and its vineyards, landscapes, and freshness felt throughout our region.

I’m Kuntal, an artist drawn to create artworks deeply rooted in the world around us. The emotional structure of my work expresses a renewed view of human expression and life, based on colors.

Paintings have been a big part of my life from a very early age. I grew up in Rajasthan, India and my early creations reflect the colorful culture and desert that surrounded me. A decade later, my studio is based in San Francisco, United States where I continue my artistic journey.

​

Rajasthani painting series. These artworks feature vibrant colors inspired by everyday life in Rajasthan. The subject matter portrays stories form Hindu mythology and the subjects who live by them.

I seek out subject matter that inspires me and presents a challenge. I paint things that I think look cool and intrigue me. Painting is my therapy…I love everything about it.

I’m also an avid sketcher. I sketch outdoors anytime I can. I also do a lot of drawing in my studio of different concepts that come to mind. Often these renderings become the seeds for future paintings. Many of my works are painted En Plein Air (out of doors) and done Alla Prima (completed all in one sitting). Plein Air painting is a thrill; it can capture a freshness and a reality that is loose, colorful, spontaneous, and wonderful.

My goal is to transport the viewer through their imaginations to a special place in their minds every time they look at one of my paintings. I want to create a sense of awe for the audience. If my art sparks a person’s imagination and makes them happy, then I’ve done my job.
