Abstract paintings by Healing Artist Year 2000

After painting few floral paintings in the year 2000 came the great moment of discovery. As I discovered the sheer texture and thickness of oil paint I started painting directly from tubes! my first major break through in abstracts!

The process was energetic, healing and out of this world. The paintings began pouring and my hands were numb. I did a lot of paintings and by lot I mean lots!

Evolution Series Painting by healing artist 

 The first paintings were done in series of 8 and I called it 'the evolution series' evolving as an artist, evolution form of a painting and evolution as in human race. the paintings are self explanatory and though now in bad condition  they were done on paper , I have preserved them for sentimental purpose.

 From then I have left doing series as I cannot concentrate on one topic for more and also I have noticed my art going from bad to worse doing the same things over and over! so every painting is unique and done only once, and I move on excel now I have done a few paintings on feng shui series but they are totally different paintings using different themes and topics.

Abstract painting by rizwana

 Abstract art is very healing and there are no limitations and they flow according to your mood. the colours selected will depend upon your mind status and the strokes will be according to your nature, the whole process of painting abstracts is a very spiritual journey and with each painting the artist travels into space.

Abstract by Rizwana

The symbolic representations can be viewed by different people with different meanings, that's the beauty of abstracts!

Graphic Designing Computer Art by Rizwana Mundewadi

After learning graphic designing in 2005 I did quite a number of designs on computer using Photoshop and Coral draw. Amazing computer programmes and miracle makers.

The energy charm by Rizwana Mundewadi

 The advanced programmes are available now which I have not upgraded and left it here. I did many abstract artworks using these wonderful computer programs and who knows later on these may come up as reference  in my abstract paintings..

Graphic Design for Greeting Card

 Greeting cards with unique captions, T-shirt design catchy captions, computer abstracts designs, tile designs , frame designs, posters I have done many designs and stored them in soft copy form. This knowledge of colors and designing helped to open new colourful doors. I could use bright colors, textures and immense possibilities with computer art.

Computer art Aum by Rizwana Mundewadi

Having moved this step up the ladder doing graphic designing crash course was a great informative move which took me one step ahead towards my goal of becoming a great healing artist.
Yes symbols were here but not too prominent in my computer artworks though I had the liking for the symbol Aum and it is seen in many of my early artworks.

Comparing Pencil Sketches of My Early Years

Pencil is a medium which every artist tries and in fact whenever our hands are free we doodle or make sketches. This not only acts as a study for learning and experimenting with different pencil strokes but also makes me feel relaxed and full of energy, and of course gives us artists new ideas and themes for new paintings.

The different pencil strokes can be done using various pencils. Though all strokes are the same when studied but every artist has their own distinct style of sketching which when observed is prominent in their pencil sketches. I am more attracted to the straight and confident strokes and curves though needed in some sketches for making them complete are a minimum seen in my pencil sketches.

The pencil sketches were done in year 2001 and 2002 as well as every year since then till 2005 for making a connection with art and a break from using oils (when there is shortage of art materials!). So I keep the flow art materials or no!any A4 size white paper will do and I am on!no wonder I have many early paintings and sketches done on paper.

Study different Pencil Strokes Sketch 

When I compared my earlier sketches and the later pencil sketches there was a vast deference. the strokes were more bolder, darker and confident. I also found that I sketched without any fear of making good art. And once this fear leaves then come original beautiful art! 

Small Water Colour Study Paintings by Healing Artist

The year 2000 and 2001 was of very hard and with effortless energy painting. water colour is not my favourite medium but I still tried my hand at this in my early years of discovery. My artists journey began with oil paints and I have also used wall paint for my first painting having fallen short of tube paint! 'The Hibiscus flowers' year 2000.

Using water colour for painting was a challenge and though the paint flowed as any other medium I liked the thickness and solid feel of oil paints. the texture, the layering and the translucent form of this medium, oil paints, is what gives my paintings bright and fresh look.
The discovery of my style or rather I term an understanding of self, led me to use water colours and the strokes flowed like a waterfall gushing to break through a hard rock. The small artworks were actually to study different strokes and as of now I have tried to arrange them in groups and maybe some time later will have a few collages of all these small artworks. Yes it is very true that water colour gives you the freedom to experiment, to try different strokes and the beautiful layerings come up as transparent texture and flowy nature of the water and of course water colour is cheaper than the oil paints. So I painted and painted and there were so many paintings approximately 200 small water colour study paintings.

These strokes and lines and the brushes loaded with water colour all were done in efficient and confident and carefree strokes. In fact there is music which can be felt on observing these paintings. All these lines were there from the beginning but they had no meaning and symbolism for me and I was confused as to why I painted and what I painted. being a healing artist and doing Reiki had opened up several channels of which I was unaware and unconsciously the paintings coming up were planned by the higher force, that which I did not understand! the journey of an healing artist is difficult and very trying as we first have to conquer our own emotions, come to terms with the fact that we are to live according to the higher force and many times I feel trapped inside this body, and to follow this path. There were times when an artist goes on painting and nobody understands , and after more than a decade I do, well my early years were exactly this!

Symbols Sketches with Paint by Healing Artist Rizwana

Symbols were always with me as I revisited my early paint sketches done using brush and back oil paint. In year 2001 as I did pencil and pen sketches I also did some using direct black paint and was this the time when calligraphy which was not known to me then was emerging in my art style. As of now I do use symbols and make symbolic healing paintings but yes they are full of colours! I just cannot control myself and not use as many colors as I can, I love the texture of oil paint, the thickness, the smell, the layers of thick paint over the canvas, how could I possibly not use colours and just do black and white paintings, not me!


The sketches done using black oil paint have some what similar reiki symbols but they are not very clear. My latest paintings have strong and powerful symbols and I do have full faith on my symbols that they work,and I have seen the effect of symbolic healing paintings as I have gone through this journey of spiritual enlightenment as an artist , a human being, a reiki channel. To make ones self hollow like the lotus or the lucky bamboo from feng shui ( fengshui-simplecures.blogspot.com ) and beautiful like the flower has been my aim in life and I do not know how much I have achieved this but am sure on my way!

I was trying so hard to understand all these sketches and early paintings and it is now that after painting for more than a decade I have come to my true calling, painting for healing and using art for healing.

Assembled these in healing untitled collages.
