Art That Transforms, Heals and Inspires

My husband and I recently purchased a lake house to serve as our private and peaceful retreat. We wanted to fill the space with art and objects that create a calm and tranquil environment. I knew Dr. Tolia as a pediatric gastroenterologist as we shared several patients in the past, and I was amazed to find out that she has is also an accomplished artist. A colleague told me about Vasu Tolia's art and I was fortunate to purchase two of her original pieces. Her use of color and abstract design are inviting and her grace and style are infused throughout her work. We have received several compliments on her work.

“I gave Vasu my theme of’ ‘Friendship and Gratitude’ for a painting for my new home. I was delighted with what she so beautifully created. The colors are just perfect, bright but not overpowering. The two figures on the painting symbolizing us and our friendship mean a lot to me. The gentle strokes of her brushes, the position, and the expressions of the figures demonstrate the bond between two friends and their gratitude. It is a warm and inviting piece of art that I am proud to have at the entrance of my home.”

“We have been fortunate to witness an truly wonderful transformation of Vasu, from a talented Pediatric Gastroenterologist to an Artist with vivid imagination. She is an amazing and creative artist, her each stroke is thoughtfully executed on a blank canvas, which is magically transformed in a living piece of art. We have painting of Shri Ganesh in our foyer. We wish her all success in this journey.”

"I acquired a beautiful painting by Vasu Tolia entitled “Au Natural,” at her solo exhibit at the Scarab gallery in Detroit. The colors and lush curves of the painted woman had a Modigliani -like feel, though the voice was entirely Vasu Tolia’s. The subject seemed to be enjoying a moment of quiet reflection, and simple contentment. I was immediately attracted to the colors- gorgeous violets, pinks and blues flowing into one another on a green background. I enjoy the painting everyday as I’ve placed it into the master bedroom."

"I acquired Vasu’s painting “ Temptation 1” about 4 years ago. I was attracted to the Whimsical subject and the beautiful vibrant colours. I loved the bold brushstrokes and texture. I look forward to to see her evolve as an emerging artist with different themes as evident by her recent works."

“My brother and I had the pleasure and privilege of working with Vasu Tolia to create a commissioned piece to commemorate our father’s retirement. She took the time to help us go from broad concept to a refined painting that beautifully represented our father’s immigration journey and his many passions from medicine, literature, music, to his family.

Vasu kept in constant communication as the piece progressed and actively solicited and incorporated our feedback throughout the process, resulting in a work that we were all instantly connected to and moved by.

The opportunity to have this bespoke piece painted by someone who means so much to our family was truly special. Vasu’s talent is only matched by her kind and generous heart. Thank you for creating a meaningful gift that will last a lifetime.”

I recently purchased the Life piece from Vasutolia, and it truly is something special. The monochrome design lends the artwork a minimalist elegance that is both striking and thought-provoking. Despite its simplicity, the interplay of light and shadow creates a captivating depth, making it a timeless addition to any space.

In addition to Life, I found several other pieces in the collection to be fantastic, each offering its own unique flair and artistic vision. I also love the mission behind Vasutolia—an inspiring dedication to creating art that not only beautifies a room but also enriches the soul.

If you’re looking for art that makes a statement through subtlety and sophistication, I highly recommend exploring Vasutolia’s collection.

I first met Dr. Tolia in Ann Arbor, Michigan, at an event hosted by NeuroArts Productions. NeuroArts Productions is a creative arts collective of multidisciplinary artists and musicians, creative arts therapists, and healthcare professionals, united by advocacy for person-centered mental health paradigms in the United States.

I purchased Calm because it stirred something deeply personal in me. The soft, quiet strength it radiates reminds me of my son, Luke, who tragically died by suicide. There's a stillness in the piece that captures the kind of peace I hope he's found—and the kind I try to hold onto in his memory.

This artwork doesn't just fill a space on my wall—it creates a space in my heart to reflect, to grieve, and to feel connected to him. The title, Calm, couldn't be more fitting. Every time I pass by it, I pause. And for a moment, I breathe. Blue was also one of his favorite colors. The shades of blue in the piece remind me of Luke so much—his brilliance, kindness, and love.

I'm grateful to have found a piece that speaks to both beauty and loss, and gives me something grounding in the quiet moments. I hope to add to my collection! - Kim Van Antwerp

Dr. Vasu Tolia is a dear friend of ours. We've known her as a highly educated, talented, and compassionate pediatrician who is deeply respected in both our community and the medical field. When we visited her studio and saw her extensive collection of paintings, we were amazed by the variety and quality. We purchased her Ganesha painting and two butterfly works. Everyone who visits our home admires the Ganesha painting especially. We are very proud of her artistic achievements." - Saroj & Satish Lalaji

I was never someone who spent time thinking about art, but Vasu Art has completely changed that for me. I now regularly give Vasu's pieces as gifts, and people remember them long after the occasion has passed. There is something spiritual in this art that resonates with everyone who sees it, which is why it has become my go-to gift for the people I care about.

I received a piece of Vasu's Art as a gift from my father, and it immediately felt special. The artwork is truly beautiful, and it feels as though the artist poured her love and intention into every detail. When I look at it, I don’t just see a picture; I feel a warmth and presence that makes the piece deeply meaningful to me.

My son bought me a piece of Vasu Art, and I absolutely loved it. I was genuinely surprised and delighted by such a beautiful and thoughtful gift. The colors, the expression, and the overall feeling of the piece make it something I treasure, and I’m reminded of my son every time I see it.

I received a piece of Vasu's Art from my brother, a work that reminded him of my daughter. What amazed me was how the picture captured the essence of her eyes, even though she isn’t actually the subject of the drawing. There is an emotional depth in the artwork that feels personal and alive, and that makes this piece one of the most meaningful gifts I’ve ever received.
