Healing Art that Arouses a Transcendent Experience

Rajul Shah, rajulshahart.com, is internationally renowned for her ability to reinterpret spiritual spheres of knowledge and manifest them into innovative contemporary artistic expressions. Her healing art communicates peace and renewal and immediately arouses a transcendent experience for the viewer. 

She states, “My work is a fusion of philosophies between the Japanese Art of Kintsugi and the spiritual teachings of the Chakras. Using the Aura from each chakra, I paint meditative abstracts of color.”

She is best known for her 2D Kintsugi paintings, which integrate a meditative layering of colors.

Rajul’s work explores themes of resilience and renewal, drawing inspiration from the philosophy behind the Japanese art of Kintsugi. Her paintings often represent the restoration of emotional balance and renewal of chakras, emphasizing the beauty in imperfection and the strength found in repair.

Characterized by harmonious layers of color and intricate compositions, her art invites introspection.

An art review about Rajul’s art has been published by The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS titled “Rajul Shah Creates Meditative and Empowering ‘Renewal’ Paintings”. In it I wrote “Harmony and balance permeate Rajul’s compositions as we traverse her impactful energy fields. Within an expansive vista we encounter an exquisite panoply of subtle painterly textures, horizontal and vertical patterns, and layers of spatial dimensions.”

Rajul provides us with a profound realization of fragility and impermanence and much more. Imbued with spiritual insight she says it best: “Our scars do not define us; they become a canvas for rejuvenation, renewal, and an evolution into enhanced versions of ourselves, fortified with newfound strength and purpose.”
