Vinita Vasu is a visual artist and designer residing in Delhi, India. She directed a short film named Beaming Blossom which won her a Special Festival Mention Award at the Children's International Cine Festival in the year 2016.
In a career spanning over a decade, Vasu has worked in paint and varied media. She paints on walls, fabrics, canvas, paper, fiberglass, bottles, boards, pebbles, and stones. Born in Kerala, and brought up in Delhi, Vasu won all the art competitions she participated in, during her school years. However, she could not pursue a degree in fine art education.
She explains that "In my works colors, shapes and patterns are used to celebrate the journey of life. Although my consciousness is the fundamental source of all my creations, it reflects the phenomenal visual experience of body, mind, and soul."
Her artworks are often a statement against negative perceptions of women from her perspective as someone who grew up in Delhi. In her own words, âÂÂThere are bondages of various kinds that women everywhere face. In Delhi, where I come from, women cannot walk free at night without fear. But I look at the positive side, at the hope that these women bear rather than dwelling on the dark side.âÂÂ
