Aarti SharmaAarti Sharma has been greatly influenced by the infinite faces of Mother Nature. At a very tender age Sharma realized the bond she had with Mother

Nature. She loves to spend most of her time sitting and observing various elements of nature in her garden, like the gentle movement of grass with the

morning breeze; dancing of the tree branches in the wind; birds and insets fluttering their wings and moving up and down in the air etc.

Ambika Pundir

Nature has always been an inspiration for me. Their calm state takes you to the distant land where everything is right and freezing this warmth has

Hemang Dave

I am a self-taught painter. There are both, negative and positive sides of this. But I have always enjoyed the freedom during the process of painting,

which I know; I could not have done otherwise. Right from the beginning, I have tried to travel to known to unknown areas in my mind, which

follow in my paintings. To be more precise, I may state that, first I was trying to draw things as they looked, but now I try to draw them as I see

them or rather I feel them, it is a window or a sun, or a still life or a human or animal form.

C D MisteryBorn in 1933 at Chikhli, Gujarat, he has completed G. D. A. (Painting) and Art master (AM). C D Mistry is an admirer of the early Indian

Modernists. He admits to have been strongly attracted to their idea of art having a distinct 'national' character. As a result, a lot of his work revolves

around folk art, stylizing it and making it into something completely different. He transferred this stylization to Indian mythology and nature,

adopting icons from Indian mythology and transforming them into symbols. He has also illustrated narratives from the Hindu epics Ramayana

and Mahabharata.

Frank VanhoorenHis work can be seen as raw, but at the same time it tittilates our senses. Great thought went into simplifying them. They're sculptures who make an

impression and who are vulnerable, rough. Sometimes they portrait emotional scarred people. There aren't many attributes to distract you, there is no

storyline. The viewer is confronted with figures, who are mostly displayed in frontal view, with almost closed eyelids. They seem stoic and frozen, captured

in a moment that will never release them. You're compelled by their silence.

Pramod Kumar Singh

Pramod presently works as a lecturer of Drawing & Painting in Govt. College, Udaipur. His works are based on white and black, depicting two sides of

everything.
