Artist Anuja Sapkale is born and brought up in Mumbai. She is one of India’s
acclaimed contemporary painters. She has exhibited her works in many Art shows in the city of
Mumbai and they have put her in great demand, but her quiet demeanor means that glimpses into
her artistic inclination and her approach can be few and far between.
She is inspired by the great traditional and ethnic Madhubani art of India and
continues to bring in more colorful and beautiful version of ethnic art.
Looking at her works, we could not resist taking some of her time to talk to her and know more
about her works, her thoughts and her passion for art.She answered a few questions of mine, shed-
ding some light, on an even more beautiful subject.
The illuminating presence of these contrasting, though complimentary, motifs of style and tran-
scending tradition, drafts an ironic sense of harmony and balance, and in doing so, offers a deeper
appreciation for the onlooker to explore and understand the simplicity and beauty of her art.
