Meet Sudha Dhar, a vibrant acrylic artist whose life is a canvas of rich experiences, bold colors, and profound self-expression. Sudha has masterfully balanced her roles while pursuing her passion for art, using it as a tool for self-transformation and connection.
Her journey has taken her across the globe, from bustling cities to serene monasteries, and her art reflects the joy, spirituality, and cultural richness she has encountered along the way.
Sudha’s paintings are a celebration of life’s happiest moments, infused with an explosion of colors that evoke warmth and positivity.
Her work often captures the essence of festivals, where music, dance, and tradition come alive in a kaleidoscope of hues. She is particularly drawn to the tranquility and wisdom of monks, whose serene presence she beautifully translates onto the canvas, creating a harmonious balance between vibrancy and stillness. Through her art, Sudha invites viewers to experience the world through her eyes.

The different hues of yellow and ochre create a visual of sunshine and shadows, a resolve, meditative move towards infinity. The flow of fabric and the simplicity of the earthen pot together meant a lot with so little.

Learning is a lifelong journey
Monks need to learn too, leaning on Natures memory bank. Learning to absorb retention.

Fakir
Fakir, Sant - folks who live here and yet not. Driven by devotion, surrender and always seems like in Anant anand. This one is a Sufi Fakir who transcends the realms of physical world and taps into the universal consciousness.
This piece adorns the wall of a dear friend.

Ganga Aarti is mesmerizing, especially the devotion and oneness with the divine of the Brahmins performing the Aarti. Unaware of the weight of the lamps or the heat they generate. The twinkling lamps, sounds of conch, bells, and Mantras. For that moment, the oneness with devotion of the Brahmin embodies for me a beautiful expression of spirituality.

The One
Medium: Acrylic
Devi, Divinity, Shakti, immersive Love, the Mother of universe. Radhe Radhe
I would like to start this series with one of my favourites. Radha getting ready with all her solah shringar(16 elements of adornments) to meet with Kanna. Immersing in the love for Krishna and reflecting his Shyam rang (colour). No adornment is complete without reflecting the colour of divine love.
This for me reflects the magic of love, complete surrender and being in the Anant sagar of divine love.
