Trupti Joshi
(1982)
Trupti is drawn to vintage items, old cities, and family utensils because they “have carried a story with them” through ages. They are interested in “telling the story that they still exist” and that these objects “have so much to tell” and are “still standing there sharing their experiences”. This highlights how objects themselves can embody and communicate histories and presences without speaking a single word. The pieces “speak a lot” even though they might be visually “lifeless”. The artist emphasizes conveying thoughts in a “simpler way,” aiming to connect with others without needing to verbally express “how simple I can see or sense or feel the things”. The completion of a painting is described as an experience that is “not expressed in words”, reinforcing that the essence of the art transcends verbal description.
