Of the Artist
Work and holidays take Bharath to places far and wide and there is much drama and emotion in boardrooms and markets. As an artist, he revels in all of it. Be it chaotic city streets, vibrant festivals, mesmerizing architecture, or just the quaint house down the road, India and the world always fascinates. When one pauses for a moment to soak in the frame, it translates into sheer beauty! One may not actively seek it but acknowledging it when it hits you, sometimes even just momentarily, is a gift to be cherished or well… painted.
Acrylic, watercolour, pen/ink and gouache are his mediums of choice. For over ten years now, Bharath has been exhibiting and shipping his paintings across the world. Some of his most enjoyable work have been custom painting engagements where he builds a painting after weeks of conversation with clients on what they want expressed.
