Chetan Katigar

Surat

"My exploration of art is take our Indian culture to the next level through my work. My art is my voice, a powerful interpretation of my deepest thought, hidden emotion and strong desires. The images are I create are coined from personal experiences and these are better perceived through art and rather than spoken".

Chetan uses sweeping brushstrokes while painting and restricts his palette to seven vibrant and earthy colours – Indian red, yellow ochre, cadmium green, vermillion, grey, blue and white. "Expressing one’s feeling and imagination through colours and canvas is full of creativeness, says Chetan. He expresses his feelings, emotions, thoughts and admiration of our surroundings, nature, flora, and fauna, and respect for our deities and mythology through his art forms. He is highly inspired by paintings of Raja Ravi Varma.
