Praises
“Harmony and balance permeate Rajul’s compositions as we traverse her impactful energy fields. Within an expansive vista we encounter an exquisite panoply of subtle painterly textures, horizontal and vertical patterns, and layers of spatial dimensions.
Rajul is endowed with a proficient use of color as a creative healing modality. Her palette represents her extensive knowledge of Chakras (the 7 body’s energy centers) and their spiritual and healing modalities. She selects specific hues to evoke visceral responses.”
- Renee Phillips, Director and Curator, Manhattan Arts International and The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS, New York, NY

“As avid Asian art collectors our purchase of Rajul's work united our collection of Japanese and Southeast Asian paintings. Her unique combination of Indian and Japanese philosophies with respect to composition and color create a sense of peace and balance in our room. Seeing her painting in my home reminds us to reflect on our adventures in both India and Japan daily.”

“Rajul Shah paints visual gems of luminosity. Multiple layers of color are worked into colorful paintings that induce deep meditative silence. Often these paintings include whimsical bits of story – for highly resonant imagery charged with emotional vibration. Viewers are sure to experience a transport to another world.”
— Nancy Reyner, Artist – Santa Fe, NM
“I have known Rajul for many years now and found her work to be both insightful and heartwarming. Her work specific to Japan captures the beauty and simplicity of this wonderful country in a way one would not expect from someone who has not grown up here. A truly and amazingly talented artist!”
— Ken Shearer, Tokyo Japan
“Rajul Shah’s artwork is a fusion of philosophy, color and technique. The message that each individual or relationship is beautiful because of its imperfections is one we all need to hear. The use of colorfields to illustrate the flowing energy of he chakras and Kintsugi to strengthen scars leads viewers wanting to reflect on these works and with a renewed appreciation of their own imperfections”
-Tabish Khan, Art Critic, London, UK
“Anahata 1 has arrived, installed right above my bed where I see her every time I walk into my room. It’s lovely and gives me a sense of peace, and makes me smile.
It shares the room with an old favorite Laxman Pai (which you can see), a 1960’s Prabha, and some more recent acquisitions,including a much loved Paresh Hazra.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful painting with me.”
— Kama Dishmon, North Carolina

“I recently aquired “Journeys,” from Rajul. The painting reminds me of the constant transformations life has in store for us. My wife recently passed away. When I look at this piece, I feel a sense of comfort and hope as I think about our time together and contemplate the future. Also, Rajul insured the safe shipment and timely receipt of the work from Singapore to New Jersey. I highly recommend adding her artwork to your home.”
