"It was a memorable experience to share with you the world of artistic fantasies and fine imageries depicted in your many paintings, quite a few of them appearing most impressive and carrying their own significant messages. May God enable your mind and hand to create more and more works of art to delight not only yourself but the viewers as well. All the best."

If it weren't for the passion with which she spoke about art, Vinitha Anand, could well be mistaken as yet another weary housewife who labeled her indulgence as her calling. I Paint for the sheer joy of it and if I didn't paint I would feel quite incomplete:? says the ker ala based artist who is exhibiting at Chitrakoot Art Gallery............
--The Indian Express, Kolkata, Saturday, October 14, 2006 Music of the Art by Sayantan Ghosh

Music and nature are the main sources of inspiration for Vinitha Anand, who has come all the way from Trivandrum to exhibit her works in the city. Reflecting the cosmic interplay between nature and music, each of her paintings enkindles positivism and encourages soulful conversation with the inner self. Layam, a collection works in water colour and mixed media, presents a harmonious union of music, imagination and colours. Abstract on first impression, they appear to portray a state of mind that is sublime and ethereal, when the soul is at peace with surroundings. Characterised by a skillful mix of colours and vibrant lines, her works are filled with rhythm, grace and energy; qualities clearly derived from a keen understanding of life and art. Anand's paintings also possess a serene sensitivity that allows viewers to go into a meditative mood. Nature is expressed with spontaneity in her paintings, but always with a sense of symmetry and proportion, as if to convey the balance and equilibrium of nature.

One of India's most outstanding painters, Vinita kumar, held an exhibition of some of her works at the Kerala Festival. Vinita paints in oils, her favourite medium. The Diaspora Indian Association has invited the Kerala-born Vinita Kumar to stage more exhibitions in this country. Ricky Pillay, art critic of the New World newspaper said: 'wonder why Vinita Kumar who has such wonderful global appeal has so assiduously hidden her talents from the inter national community. I like her imaginative, haunting and deftly executed works. We hope to see more of Vinita in this country, Western Europe and America in the future." Dr. Cyriac Maprayil, President of the Diaspora Indian Asso ciation, who hosted a reception in her honour at the India Club was equally enthusiastic: "I was delighted to see some of Vinita Kumar's paintings at the exhibition at the Kerala Festival. In my view, her paintings of India are among the most original and most honest I have seen the last three decades. We are proud of her, her sprit and her artistic integrity and we will do all in our power to get her the international audience she so richly deserves. "
