Vasundhara Tewari Broota’s art, one might say, is diaristic in its form rather than experiential. She successfully relates universal femininity with a connection between spiritual insight and figurative representation. She uses the female nude as a device to show the strength of her protagonist, far from objectifying her. Nudes, when viewed from a female artist’s point of view, unsurprisingly, show more strength and confidence than when male artists tend to project them. With Amazon I, she views the female nude as a space for interrogation into feminism.
