Durga Ekambaram tours her artwork, stopping at the painting “Mysore Palace,” on display at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center in West Valley City, Friday, May 27, 2022.For multimedia artist Durga Ekambaram, coming to Utah meant “rediscovering herself.”
“It’s a pattern done outside every house in the mornings,” Ekambaram said, noting that she learned the techniques from her mother, a professional artist who still lives in India. “I would go out in the mornings, take rice flour and make a small design. After a few hours, you will see birds and insects feeding on that rice flour, so the concept behind it is to start your day with charity.”
In the three years since then, Ekambaram has branched out into watercolor, clay, acrylic paint, oil paint and reverse glass. All these can be seen in the 19 works in her exhibition, “Enchanting India,” on display now through July 20 at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center, 1355 W. 3100 South, West Valley City.
The exhibit pays homage to the culture and history of India in a holistic way — “It’s a vast nation, north, west, south and east,” she said. “There’s so much culture and art to learn from, but somehow people tie India to spices and the Taj Mahal and all those things.”
