Art Journey
rooma mehra EXCERPTS FROM ART REVIEWS AND WRITE-UPS BY ART CRITICSThings that fade, that cannot easily be caught and pinned down are Mehras concern, as of any devoted artist who knows that to seek is all.Keshav Malik in The Times of IndiaThere must be something common between painting, sculpture, poetry and music, so many painters write poetry, so many poets can also play some musical instrument or the other or sing.One of them is Rooma Mehra.- Khushwant Singh in his MALICE column on Rooma Mehra in THE HINDUSTAN
TIMES.
Roomas works reveal the products of a mind which in its ultimate imaginative reach is capable of finding itself wherever it looks even though it marks within, its own divisive strengths.There is a sense of visual victory, as one perceives these works.Roomas is a fertile mind rich in the aspects of intricately and exquisitely enriched cognitive details.
Roomas works invite an inexorable condition in which the intricacies are not to be revealed in the experience of the condition. Its quality is felt in the richness of the ambient which engages the imagination with a wide range of tactile visual incident.Roomas paintings evoke a splendor that must have existed below the thin white sheen of the canvas she touched.
In the stillness of all else around you listen to these paintings as they weave their way through the crest of melody. For Rooma perhaps it is the inevitable that colour should be used with a fervent relish.In her deliberation to personalize or depersonalize she has also set a stage for a creative art.-"ROOMAS RESONANCE BY UMA NAIR Rooma's Art is revolutionising in the sense that it emphasizes more on the happening. She touches the very core of personalities through her tantalizing and balanced shades.- "A HAPPY BLEND OF WATERCOLOURS" by Vijay BhushanRooma Mehra is a young artist who combines in her person both poetry and painting.
It is a rare combination, but a strong one. What is significant is that she makes effective statements both literally as well as visually.
Roomas works with a sure hand and a lot of thinking goes into her work. That is why she knows what she is doing and what exactly she wants from the medium. It will be interesting to watch her next stage in both painting and in poetry. For she is a progressive artist and poet.-"WITH A SURE HAND" BY R.S. YADAVWithin the tradition of a synthesis of art forms and artists is an increasingly popular artist, Rooma Mehra. A self-taught painter and a poetess of repute, her watercolours are currently on display.Rooma has chosen to work within the paradigm of the universal shunning

The stench from burning flesh rises like smoke from the cremation of a smiling child.
Blood from dripping knives carve wounds on the weeping roads of my country.
At the end of this tunnel the Buddha smiles..
But who will end the tunnel?
Worms eating tunnels into gullible minds
Words eating tunnels into gullible minds
Who will will fill the tunnel with the smile of Buddha burnt in the cremation of a smiling child?

Blowing on ashes one purple night Battling with one tiny gust of wind that blew them back to me.
Back and forth Forth and back Back and forth Forth and back The rocking rhythm of a lullaby sucked me quietly into a whirlpool of ash..
I dreamt of you, Angel, and woke into a silver midnight A star in ash smiled in silver moonlight

from the ashes of darkness of pain of death
quivering, hesitant rises the shadow-flame of truth
blurred by tears
only slowly very slowly it metamorphoses into a brilliant yet soothing light of a whole truth
that illuminates the tunnels of the mindscape
i watch ..mesmerised.. the rainbow balsam healing touch on my wounds
i listen ..astonished.. to the truth that sings the inevitability of the encounter with the loving, with the peaceful, with the gentle
with God.. https://youtu.be/Nol1zTTGeBk?si=pBZ_g7g4hjdxQRtu

And the mountains freeze Waiting for love to happen Garbage dumps, smoke, tree-wood corpses Frozen inside a shivering teardrop
Red, chrome, pale, white The sun shines over a mountain head And the teardrop melts Drop by drop by drop by drop Waiting for love to happen..
But crystals of smoke from garbage Burning under a tortured tree Leafless, branchless, headless Melt to rise in the white sunflame
Waiting for love to happen..
The stench of smoke from treeless hills From the cremation of tree corpses Rising to the ticking of the sun-clock As not so faraway a battle rages
Waiting for love to happen..
Crystals of smoke from battle Rising to the cries of torture Headless, earless, eyeless, shackled Warriors frozen inside a teardrop
Waiting for love to happen
Bodies on the roads Bodies on the hills Woodless cremations Cremated wood
Mountains inside frozen teardrops Tears frozen in dead eyes Tumbling mountains and tears Crushed white doves at sunrise
Waiting for love to happen Drop by drop by drop by drop
Waiting for Peace to happen Piece by piece by piece by piece..

by Rooma Mehra
When dreams are done and the night stretches on Murdered moments, minutes, hours but the night stretches on..
Dragging feet trying to escape - Nothing â tags along â heavy Memories erased, so long ago but â nothing â tags along â heavy
Covered an inch, a foot, a step and dawn is miles away on the other side of the mountain Dawn is m i l e s away
Fall, lie back, conjure up a vision but memories have been erased When the end began its stumbling journey All memories were erased
Get up, go, another step The night must be spent Dawn lies at the end of night The night must be spent Give up, surrender to the night within but sleep is blanked out past The day is miles, mountains away and sleep is blanked out past
Draw an illusion with heartburn on the canvas of the night But ashes mingle with ashes on the canvas of the night
Night falls heavy on lidless eyes Glowing embers from the fire within Look into a mirror to see two suns Glowing embers from the fire within
And a dawn is born from the ashes of dreams

So many stars Sleep An eternal slumber In the heavenly embrace Of a sleeping sky …unseen. Unawakened… By a wisp Of a whistling wind …unfelt. Since the day A zillion eyes fused In a nuclear fission. Forgotten… But for the black hole In the heart Of the sleeping sky. A mute testimony Of days gone by Telling no one The story Of the earth That was Once upon a time. When stars shimmered And the sky smiled Because life saw… But it is of no consequence Really… That era ended A long time ago. And who is listening anyway…
