Anuradha Thakur
Anuradha Thakur is an Indian painting artist in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra. Known for her luminescent paintings, her artwork is a display of the inherent Indian culture and traditions. She is also a TEDx speaker.
Anuradha has been honoured with numerous national awards and was recently selected by the Ministry of Women and Child Development as one of the Top 100 Women Achievers in the category of Art and Culture in India.
Sachin Sagare
Artist Sachin Sagare intricately intertwines women and flowers, symbolizing divine communion and awakening consciousness. Inspired by the resilient women of his native Pandharpurhas village, Sachin’s art blends rural simplicity with classical allure. His command of colour, delicate lines, and expressive faces capture the essence of his subjects.
Subrata Das
Subrata Das’s artworks are imbued with colour, mysticism and romance. The acrylics on canvas and mixed media works feature a cast of ethereal mythological beings from the Hindu epics with long limbs, cascading hair and a flame orange mist of vermilion dotting their foreheads.
The Buddha and Krishna are recurring protagonists in the Kolkata-born artist’s works, who focuses on the sublime and the poetic aspects of ancient Indian myths and legends. A favourite theme is the divine love story of Radha and Krishna, depicted as two young, besotted lovers.
The beauty of Das’s art lies in the serene, graceful aura that radiates from his aqua and blue-green heroes and heroines, and the lush forest of natural imagery they are set in. The paintings are dotted with blue lotuses, doves, peacocks, birds, and the omnipresent flute. The ethnic subjects and themes are rendered with modern aesthetics, and tradition mixes freely with contemporary techniques in Das’s work.
