The artists are supporting the excellent work undertaken by two Goa based NGO’s El Shaddai (looking after education and welfare of street children) and Goa SPCA (helping people to help animals) by giving a considerable percentage of sale proceeds to them. Sunil S Mehta – paints in oil and acrylics – “Art should be enjoyed –when one goes to see art at a gallery or at a friend’s house; when one buys art for love of the painting or as an investment; or when one paints the work. At each stage, essentially you should ‘be happy’ with what you see. It must please the eye. My favoured style is impasto as it exploits the richness of the paints. I love painting landscapes as trees and scenery convey peace, tranquility and considerable warmth. Art is a part of one’s soul”.
