One of the incredible piece of art that I have ever encountered is the famous portrait of Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. It was around 20 years ago when I was in standard 5 during an excursion to a museum that I first encountered this masterpiece. The very first thought that strike my mind when I saw Mona Lisa was the spirit of simplicity, the subtle smile that she had and the artistic mastermind that is being reflected in the painting. Even today when I come across Mona Lisa, I pause for a while and I glance at the eyes of this beautiful lady on the painting just to see how can somebody describe a lady in such a simplistic and a profound way in a portrait some hundreds of years ago. It is a celebration of the human artistic spirit and a reason to understand that art is not just a means of expressing someone but it also speaks about the nature of creativity that one can impose.

I would like to talk about the painting that you can see when you come into my home. Although my house is full of paintings, there is one special painting of two young ladies sitting and chatting. This reminds me and my sister. The painting itself was done by my sister. She herself is an artist. Although I am not much interested in doing artworks and paintings, I would like to learn it and try to do a little small painting someday. I want to bring the most out of myself and want to see how my imagination would be. The art that I described you of the two young ladies was done by my sister in the past year. She did it keeping in mind of us two which was recommended by my mom. She wants to have it as our memory because we are staying apart for work and studies. My sister paints mostly of sceneries and natural scenarios but this is the one painting that I have fallen in love with. This is the first painting that comes to my mind when you ask about any artwork or painting and I would surely do it.

There are several pieces of artworks in the world, but I generally like a piece of art which is described as Luigi da Vinci's artwork Mona Lisa. The Mona Lisa painting is very beautiful and seems mysterious because it has an oily nature and the theme of the Mona Lisa painting is very fictional. Also the Mona Lisa painting is very beautiful from the far but we can even see its closeness. The piece of art of Mona Lisa also contains many mysteries like its smile, its smile changing by time to time, it's a myth or fact we don't know. The Mona Lisa painting is firstly I saw on my mobile phone with several YouTube videos because the facts and myths are very separated in all over internet so I found it very beautiful. And also with some of the languages, the French, the Mona Lisa painting is the most expensive painting in the world and I feel that it is the biggest artwork present in the world. The art of Luigi da Vinci is also copied several times but the original painting has its own value. The painting worth millions of dollars even the now made billion of dollar paintings can't replace it because the Mona Lisa painting is very old and Luigi da Vinci is a famous genius artist of that such time so Mona Lisa painting is very precious and very rare because it's never happened again, it's only one and be only one till the end of the world. Thank you so much.

A piece of art that I like is a dance reel that I recently saw from one of my favorite dance creators. I don't necessarily like fine arts or paintings as such, I'm more towards performing arts, so I like watching dance reels and music videos. This reel specifically had such a lively vibe, it exuded energy and exuberance. It was one of my favorite choreographies by this creator called Dharmak Samani. He is one of the rising dance creators in India today. I love attending his workshops, I have attended about 5 or 6 till now. He is currently on his fall tour and he is climbing upwards to new heights. Dance is my expression of personality, which is why I am so connected with it. This reel in specific really appealed to me because I wish to learn this one choreography of his that I haven't learned till now. I kind of have the steps of it in my mind ingrained because I've watched it so many times. But I still would like to attend a workshop of his which focuses on this choreography. He is also coming to Australia where I'm planning on going, so I'm excited to attend his workshop there as well.

A piece of art that I really like is a self-portrait that I actually made when I was 18 years old. The portrait was made in a particular style which was of wood burning where one has a piece of blank wood and one uses a wood burning machine where you actually burn the wood and then you can make drawings or figures that you choose. So in my class my teacher used to teach us how to do this and I found that style of art very interesting because you have to be very patient since it takes a long time to complete and you do the art by just burning dots on the wood and the whole picture is made from those dots and not anything else, no lines, no curves, only dots. So it actually took me a few months to complete because it's very tedious, tiring and needs a lot of patience but at the end it's very rewarding because all the time that you spend patiently drawing those dots finally results in something really beautiful and my teacher had helped me a lot because in the beginning it can be very tricky and especially when I was young I was not that great at art but I just liked doing it because it gave me great peace of mind. So with her help I would say finally I managed to get good results and that became my favourite piece of work because of how it turned out at the end.

There are many arts that I like, but except of all of these, I like cooking. When I was a kid, I saw a food cooking channel in which a chef makes recipes and presents it very effectively and it looks very delicious and attracts me very well. At the age of 18, I also started cooking with lots of efforts and struggles and it makes me feel very well. After doing my art, present my art, it feels very good and I like cooking and sometimes I watch YouTube videos to make my art more efficient and develop my art. I also do many efforts.

I like a piece of art that is Raja Rai Verma's painting. I am very much interested in paintings. Not at all I am a good painter, but I like all the paintings of anyone. Mostly Raja Rai Verma is my most favourite one. His works call me the traditional developments or traditional look of Kerala's culture. That gives me and the whole world a wonderful and amazing view. Moreover, it gives me some pleasure by seeing if it is original or not. First I liked the picture when I went to a museum and then saw all the works of Raja Rai Verma in exhibition. At that moment I fell in love with his all paintings. His works are very well and well finished. He tells some stories like Devdas and some old ones that belong to the old kings. We appreciate him a lot. I think he had not given any achievements about his work. Most of Kerala government will give him any award, but I think it is not one. We all like him most.

The piece of art that I had seen was a five-year-old drawing. This five-year-old was creating a drawing of his hometown and it was extremely wonderful to see. It was such a wonderful pleasure to experience what he was drawing. He was drawing his hometown. His hometown was full of trees and in between all the trees, there's a small cute house. It was a very precious moment for him to explain his hometown. He had later on explained about the painting that he had drawn and the situations that he was living in. Even though the situation that he was living in was not as luxury as the modern lifestyle right now, but the way he was living was extremely impressive. The way the five-year-old kid was managing his own responsibilities was very impressive. Everything was just so good and my first feeling, I felt so calm when I saw the drawing of a five-year-old. Just imagine, the five-year-old cannot be that very good at drawing, right? But still, it was very good and it was very impressive and it was a very joyous moment for me. It was a very calm and peace moment for me.

The sculpture makes that piece so wonderfully that people's loves that sculpture very much indeed. I think when I look that sculpture I am I am really I'm really motivated about that because in my childhood I really wanted to be a sculpturist. So when I so when I saw any sculptures I feel very happy and at the same time I feel also very sad about that because because I don't I can't take I can't be a good sculpture at the same time. So when I saw that sculpture I decided to try out of myself with a piece of mud and I made something huge so that my my dream is near to fulfilling. So when I go back to when I go back to the museum I really enjoyed every piece that showed there for exhibition. I think most of the people out to watch that piece of
