Art Practice A peek into my studio and wide ranging art practice, from oils to collage, mixed media, and printmaking ❣️

  • My artistic practice focuses on forms inspired by everyday scenes and landscapes in order to capture fleeting moments. Using drawing and gestural mark-making I attempt to slow down the day and impress a permanence on the transient moments of everyday life, constructing spaces for reflection and introspection. The deliberate markings and the chance textures in my work interplay to reproduce memories on to paper as they are remembered and rewritten. 

  • Surasti Puri (b. 1991) is a Polish-Indian artist and printmaker. She was born in India and spent her formative years in Delhi and Bangalore. Her work is a dialogue between memories and mark-making, using expressive brushwork and colour she explores the interplay between the intangible natural elements and tangible landscapes. She lives and works in Leicester, UK, where she has a studio at the Leicester Print Workshop.

Hi everyone! Since the last few months have been so busy I figured I could throw in another ball to juggle... I'm hoping to clear up some old works on paper from my studio. These are mostly small pieces in oil, colour pencil, pastels, collage. I'm go
Several works in progress and one I finally got around to framing. First image are all oil on paper, framed and on paper, on cradled gesso panel, and on uncradled gesso panel… . . . . . . . . #oilpainting #gesso #contemporaryart #painting #ab
A summer piece across two sheets of paper exploring mark making and texture. Really enjoyed the fluid pools of colour and as always I'm a fan of throwing in a splodge of green! 💚 🌱 . . . . . . . #artistsoninstagram #contemporaryart #oilpainting #ab
A much bigger, older piece. Not sure if its complete, or if I'd do more to it but this is it for now 🤷 I Could Finally Think Oil on canvas 60 x 50 cms . . . . . . . . . #contemporaryart #landscapes #oilpainting #leicestershire #wipart #abstractart
A little imagined garden on gesso panel, a frenzy of green. Like the one outside home now or maybe a bit like the garden from back home. Eventually I’ll do some a bit larger, but wee ones for now! . . . . . . #artistsoninstagram #oilpainting #l
A really very small piece on panel, a hazy memory from a swim not long ago… Textures on smooth fine tooth gesso are my current obsession 💙 . . . . . . #oilpainting #landscape #painting #smallpaintings #abstractart #contemporaryart #leicesters
