Weekends are for house hunting

Weekends are for house hunting by Kiran Mehta

If you have gone through the process of house hunting between states, you would totally relate to this artwork. This has been created during a period when I was doing road trips between states every weekend, for house hunting. If you look at the painting carefully, you would find elements you can relate to.

For example, the black in the bottom corners and the 'U' shape at the top represents the night time driving on the highway so that we could be at the destination for early morning house inspections. the yellow sequence of blocks represents the endless hours spent staring at house plans on real estate websites.

Are there any more elements that you can identify with?

This painting has been created on a premium quality canvas with professional quality acrylic paints. It comes glazed and varnished in satin. Unframed and ready to hang.

I am a Canberra-based artist creating contemporary impressionistic works inspired by colour, nature, and emotional resilience. My practice is deeply intuitive, drawing on bold, luminous hues influenced by my Indian heritage and the expansive Australian landscape.

My artistic journey began as a form of healing during a transformative period in my life, where painting became both refuge and expression. Through layered textures, organic mark making, and expressive brushstrokes, my work explores themes of joy, spirituality, and connection to the natural world.

I work across multiple mediums including acrylics, oil pastels, charcoal, and inks, allowing each piece to evolve through experimentation and instinct. I often begin with a prayer or affirmation, embedding intention into the surface of the canvas. My aim is to create immersive works that invite reflection, warmth, and a quiet sense of uplift.
