site.btaExhibition by Indian Artist Sasmita Mishra to Be Unveiled in Sofia on March 14

An exhibition by Indian artist Sasmita Mishra will be unveiled at the Union of Bulgarian Artists (UBA) building in Sofia on March 14. Entitled NOAH, it will be on display until March 21, the UBA team said.

Describing her works featured in NOAH, the author says: "At the heart of a diplomat's nomadic life lies the search for a guiding light - a support that connects him to the earth. And for his partner, who is occasionally forced to change her home, the first sense of warmth comes from the local flora and fauna and the living creatures that inhabit this environment. But here comes a twist. Most of the paintings in this exhibition have a central image or motif that evokes and invites life. Many of them are intertwined with images from my homeland, India."
