About This Artwork

For years, my days have been accompanied by the soundtrack of construction—grinding stone, hammering steel, and cranes tracing shapes across the sky. This painting is inspired by that constant activity. While the reality is often dusty, noisy, and grey, I choose to see it differently. Through colour and imagination, cranes acquire a curious grace, rocks become living presences, and the landscape reveals unexpected stories. Even amid destruction and upheaval, I find myself searching for beauty, fascinated by the poetry of a world constantly dismantling and rebuilding itself.

About the Artist

Vallery Puri

Vallery is an artist whose creative journey began in early childhood and evolved into a professional practice in 1996. A self-taught painter, she has spent three decades developing a distinctive visual language inspired by personal experiences, nature, and the impact of human choices on the environment. Her work often explores themes of urbanisation, disappearing forests, and transformation. Vallery Puri is a contemporary, self-taught artist with over thirty years of painting experience. Working primarily in oils, she creates expressive works rooted in Post-Impressionist colour and emotion. Her subjects — faces, figures, flowers, forests and familiar interiors — reveal a deep sensitivity to light, stillness, and human connection. Known for her delicate layering technique and evocative use of colour, Vallery explores how emotion can live quietly within form and texture, a contemplative space where melancholy and vibrancy, silence and joy, coexist in harmony.
