Meera paints walls. And HOW!!
If that hasn't blown you away... digest this- Meera has no formal training in art, she painted a friend's salon and there has been no looking back. She has gone on to paint residences, commercial spaces, work on movie and ad sets and write for design mags. I think Meera's quote "Have wall, will paint. Actually, Have money, will paint." describes her the best.
Here are a few of my favourites...
Look at the detailing on the wall. Painstakingly lovely work.... A closer look at the detailing:
Makes me wish I was allowed to paint the walls of my rented apartment <sigh>
Though walls are her focus, Meera has also painted....
... Furniture
... and created a beautiful sink that reminds me of a Turkish Bath.
I think I subconsciously chose Meera's work as the first to profile as it reminded me of the the summer holidays I spent bribing the painter(who was professionally a movie billboard and poster painter-topics on which I'll be doing posts soon) with chocolates to let me paint our walls. So, the painter got paid for not doing too much work, and I didn't get caught till I turned 15!
OK I am going to stop reminiscing and let you feast your eyes on some more of Meera's work. I loved all of them so much that I had a really tough time choosing the ones to feature.
I love the striking colours she uses...
You can check out more of Meera's magic on her Flickr stream. If interested in commissioning Meera's work, drop me an e-mail and I'll pass on her contact details.
