According to Caroline Eshak-Liuzzi, Mapping Incidentals is a collection of work that harbours fleeting moments that are either absorbed into our psyche at will or simply pass.

Rohini’s artwork reflects expressions of a soul deeply influenced by her ancient Indian heritage and Indian texts such as the Bhagavad

“The ‘incidentals’ are pauses in the everyday occurrence of life that are captured and transferred into a visual story. The mapping process of occurrences and dialogues with memories has led to a body of work that is a simple record of incidental happenings in the artist’s life. All incidentals are unique in how they are caught by individuals and these works reflect such idiosyncrasies in life,” she explains.

Rohini Kappadath (Roh) is an emerging artist who has been creating works of art since the eighties. Her formal training constituted private tutelage under various artists over a period of twenty five years. Rohini’s artwork reflects expressions of a soul deeply influenced by her ancient Indian heritage and Indian texts such as the Bhagavad Gita. Her works primarily constitute the journey of a soul as it engages in a creative dance through the

Gita

Born and raised in Kolkata, Rohini has enjoyed a 20 year long career in the IT industry in both Australia and India. She is currently Head of Cross Border-Business at Pitcher Partners, a firm of Accountants, Auditors and Advisors. A mother of three, Rohini enjoys pursuing her passion for painting, writing and photography. She first exhibited her works at the 2000 Rocks Art Exhibition in Sydney, where she also trained at the Julian Ashton Art School for a brief period. Recently, some of her works were auctioned by Art Cabriolet during a fundraising initiative for survivors of the Victorian Bushfires. Rohini’s creative interests also include photography and film-making resulting in submission of two short films at Tropfest, Sydney in 2002. .

“Everything I have done in life is fuelled by creativity,” says Rohini. “Whether I am negotiating a deal in the boardroom, splashing paint on canvas or filming through a camera, my thirst for creative expression provides me the desired momentum. Life is a juggling act at any given time but if one masters the art of expressing feelings, thoughts and ideas that reflect who you are while balancing various aspects, life can be sooooooo beautiful,” she claims enthusiastically. Browsing through Rohini’s work, it is plain to see the vibrancy and warmth of the beautiful life of which she dreams. She may want to call her work ‘incidental’ but the talent behind it is quite obviously not fleeting nor forgettable.
