Shobha Nagar has brought a colourful and an elaborated world of women over canvas. If one desires to have a close look at the women, their emotions, expectations this would eb the best collection to have a look at.
The use of acrylic and water colour technique over canvas gave a mystical and an enchanting effect added to the real emotions.

As she is much focused on what she want to express through her paintings, her paintings become easier to understand yet very interesting to watch.

She has portrayed the human feelings depicting them through different texture. Brilliant combination of the abstract art set as the background of paintings keeping the main idea as figurative let the spectator enthralled.
Bringing the elements of art together, she applies markings of lines giving a different texture to the background to the canvas. The result is an emotional body of work, both pleasing to the eye and to the mind. Her paintings come to live as one take a slow walk-through at the gallery.
