SURI GHODADRA, CLASS OF 2027

INTERVIEW WITH THE ARTIST

CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE WORK YOU CREATED?

SURI: Mainly going through pictures; I found one that was “a really awesome moment that was captured in that photo” and felt like “there was a lot of culture captured that evoked emotion."


WHAT DID THE CREATIVE PROCESS ENTAIL?

SURI: 1. Lots of hours of work

  2. Lots of material

        3. Sheer amount of focus - gets really taxing


WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS WORK COMPARED TO YOUR OTHER PIECES? 

SURI: More culturally influenced. “Could see movement” compared to other pieces which are more still life.


WHAT IS ONE THING YOU LOVE ABOUT CREATING ART? 

SURI: I really like just seeing the end product. A lot of people say it's the journey, but honestly, for me, it’s just like seeing how far I've grown and all the hard work I’ve put into this painting on a sheet of paper.


WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO CREATE?

SURI: I just really like drawing; personal enjoyment.


DOES THIS PIECE AFFECT YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS

SURI: Yes; I ended up using a new medium that I use a lot now.
