Sanjay Punekar<\/p><\/div>\n

Born in Pune, the artist received a BFA in fine arts from AKMV (in Pune) and was in his first year of an MFA program as of 2015. He has exhibited is Mumbai at the Jehangir art gallery as well as in Delhi at the Taj Place, India Habitat Center and for the Indian Council for Cultural Relations. Punekar has received honors for his painting, winning the Hindustan Times award.<\/p>\n

As a contemporary painter, Punekar works mostly in acrylic colors and water colors. While he\u2019s not currently exploring a new medium, he is experimenting with his inner dreams as subject matter for his work. In his work \u201cInner Power<\/a>\u201d Punekar brings the inner soul to the forefront with his bold use of color. The vibrancy of the piece evokes the beauty of nature via abstract forms that flow through the canvas. Like many of his other paintings, \u201cInner Power<\/a>\u201d reflects that artist\u2019s style and internal beliefs.<\/p>\n

The artist delves deep inside to his soul in creating the colorful works that highlight the fluidity of nature, and all of its true beauty. Without relying on realism to interpret the natural world, Punekar creates visually stunning abstractions of both the outside and inside worlds.<\/p>\n
