Ep. 33 - Manuela Mendonça Gomes, The Artist

<p>Hello, beautiful people. Welcome to episode 33 of photo country with Rajeev. This is usually the podcast, where I chat with photographers from around the world. And then occasionally I do talk to artists who straddle different mediums. One such artist is Manuela Mendonca Gomes. She is an artist from Goa India. I met her when I was working there. Her work is full of nature. It's very reflective of Goa where she lives. It's culture and its architecture. So I sat down to talk to her about her art. And her journey from being a tennis player to a successful commercial artist.  Thanks Manuela for coming on the Photo Country podcast.</p><p>My favorite memories of Goa, is during the monsoons. I really love Goa when it's raining and when it's really green. My wife and I used to to jump on a scooter and ride through the quaint Goan villages. Manuela has beautifully captured this beauty of Goa in her paintings - from the houses, the lush green foliage to the distinct colour palette of Goa. I could go on and on about her work. But it is best you have a browse through her instagram feed. Her work is available on sale and Manuela is open for commissions as well.</p><p>Her instagram - <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/manuelarrrtista/">https://www.instagram.com/manuelarrrtista/</a></p><p>Thank you, Manuela, for coming on the show.
