黑料不打烊

Todo Paintal has had an eventful and momentous life, and yet her work exudes a rare warmth and joie de vivre which reflect not only her zest of life but her inner strength and an ability to face life head on. Her recent explorations of Himalayan landscapes produce a utopian vision of an innocent world which is a refuge from the pressures of the city, free from noise, crowds, pollution and in tune with natural processes. She celebrates the experience of solitude and spiritual refreshment afforded by pastoral retreats in idyllic portraits of contented self-sufficiency. These portable mementos representing visual experiences share with us a wonderful energy of her artistic engagement, great fascination and love with the mountains. Being widely travelled, this is a theme she returns to frequently along with her emotional dialogue with her family- an unabashed ode to the pleasures and joys of a fulfilled life. She celebrates the radiant beauty of the natural landscapes and beautifully communicates the spirit of the place with a distillation of the tranquility it embodies in the people closest to her.
