About Artist

My painting journey began from college days when I completed my Applied Art education in Abhinav kala Mahavidyalay, Pune. The group show at Hotel Rama International Art Gallery at Pune was my first exhibition. Theme based painting on canvas was my passion. I started paint in acrylics. I have painted in Oil paints, watercolor also but the brightness, freshness and flow of acrylic colors most attracted me. My paintings had been displayed in online shows also. My first solo painting exhibition was held in 2005 at Aurangabaad near the Ajantha caves. Theme of this exhibition was "Indian Golden age". Indian Festivals, traditions and the way of life inspires me even now. Appreciation of Art lovers always encourage me. My recent solo show was based on Goddess Durga. "Devi Durgaa"has closer to heart of people of India. I believe, Women have "Devi"or "Shakti Tatva" within herself so we celebrate the "Navratri"Festival in India. "Devi"- The Goddess show was based various forms of women or Devi Durgaa. --- Arundhati k. Dhumale Education A.T.D. -1997 (Abhinav Collage – AKMV Pune, Maharashtra) G. D.
