Comical Nostalgia

A conceptual Comical Artist expressing what is being repressed with grisaille abstract artworks .

Hi I am Pragati Jindal a comic artist, communicating the much avoided issues that we turn a blind eye to ;which rather build up and make us who we are .

Feeling, being expressive is considered a sign of vulnerability. The very essence that makes us differently similar to others is seen as a sign of being WEAK . The fear of being judged , take advantage off , being put down makes us ignorant to what we really are . We feel certain things , go through numerous experiences , make memories intending to share and express instead they are bottled up and repressed to a level where suppressed emotions make way for personality disorders.

My personal illustrations are initiated as a mere experience or may be as a trigger to multiple events which are gradually broken down using abstract semiotics developing into compositions and character design . Each framework is personal thought over days conveying a gist of emotion to feel and grow with. Linear movements , balance of shapes with carefully implemented negative and positive spaces is integrated for a composition refined by personal iconography and suggestions .

Through the societal satire of my artworks I intent to convey what is being felt mutually , to be a support for the community to break free from strains of having it together all along - rather to be at ease with oneself , to share what you really feel with the unknown people , to connect with them on mutual grounds and to stand in support for each other by feeling with one another because being WEAK is the new STRONG .

Our memory space when spammed by uncontrolled thoughts creates an interrupted interfacing of emotions and actions . While a positively strong and viable thinking process enables us develop a rational perspective with critical decision making without burning us out . We need to DE-CLUTTER our mind .

Depression - not only does it tamper with our mood rather it effects us physically to a great extent . A certain restricted perspective is formulated based on a previous trauma ,a stressful event or even an abuse which shadows our actions and decisions.

Filtering ourselves day after day so that we can be someone’s shot of espresso or maybe coating ourselves be the perfect latte or the classic café noir ; leaving behind a taste that’s difficult for us to even savor .
Many tiny preferences make us a little more special , comforting and warm .
