Neha Tibrewal, a student of Class XI, Modern High School for Girls, had participated in an art workshop conducted by “Hue ‘n’ I”. This organization has been functioning in Kolkata since 2002. The main purpose of PLASMA – their art gallery, is to help children suffering from blood disorders. 25% of all proceeds from the gallery go directly for the purchase of blood required for the treatment of leukemia, thalassaemia, lymphoma, haemophilia, etc.

Neha had contributed around 14 paintings conceptualized on the basis of ‘soul’, and they were titled – ‘Strength’, ‘Energy’, ‘Aura’, ‘Fantasy’, ‘Wood’, ‘Paper’, ‘Wire’, etc. She had been allocated a special corner to display her works.

It is truly creditable that at the age of seventeen, she has exhibited her works and even managed to sell 4 of her paintings. The special features of her paintings were the thick textures, rich colours and the internal depth of each work.

The exhibition was held from October 2 – 4 at Plasma, Alipore, and according to the budding artist, it was a totally new and wonderful experience.
Best wishes to her for the future!
