/24-7PressRelease/ - January 24, 2007 - A professional artist and educator, the artist Chitra Ramanathan is most known for her mixed media textural colorful mural-like abstract paintings that are often very large. Her numerous works are with private, corporate and public collections around the United States and in Europe. Chitra Ramanathan's anodized aluminum and unique paintings on and behind Plexiglas, have been described as "tactile works that resonate with a quiet harmony" and ..."originally from India, her work reflects the spirituality of her culture" by Manhattan Arts, New York.
Following the renovation of the Hotel Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nevada, two mixed media textural paintings, each measuring 4 feet by six feet in dimension commissioned of Chitra Ramanthan by the MGM Mirage Design Group were created in the artists' signature style of abstract painting and are on permanent display inside the Conservatory Botanical Gardens of the Bellagio since 2004.
The University of Illinois College of Fine and Applied Arts' August 2005 Publication elaborates, "Chitra's paintings exemplify her love of nature as well as the subjectivity of each individual's unique pursuit of happiness. Her painting procedure often entails making mental notes of a scene in nature, including the lighting, colors, and textures. She then uses these impressions in her studio to replicate the subject matter in an abstracted form, using rich physical textures, intense colors, and varied media".
Ramanathan received her Bachelors in Painting with Honours, and her M.B.A in Art Museum Administration and Human Resources from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
