Harshada Kolapkar

Pune

"My artwork depicts my past impressions of the vibrant atmosphere of Konkan, including the changing seasons, serene and verdant surroundings, modest village dwellings, wide sea and serene terrain. These visuals of Konkan take me to a peaceful realm, and provide a meditative experience in addition to inspiring inner peace. My artwork revolves around the beauty of human simplicity, compassion, and harmony with nature. The creative process brings me immense joy, fueling my curiosity and allowing me to rediscover myself in new and exciting ways."
