Talking about the exhibition, Patkar says, “The theme of the exhibition is based on five elements of life — Water, Fire, Air, Sky and Earth, which I have depicted using various colours. I have done paintings on water and even though water does not have any colour, I have tried to show its fluidity, rhythm and composition through my paintings. Also, I have used the colour yellow in several works of art as I feel it is the colour of life as it depicts brightness and positivity.”


Patkar believes that the paintings on display will reach out to the viewer as they depict a certain insight on life. “As colours are very important in life, I think every art lover will correlate with the paintings. Every piece of painting shows positivity. Even if a non-art-lover stands in front of a painting, they will be able to comprehend it. I have tried to add depth to the paintings.”

Patkar is a lecturer at a city-based design institute. She pursued art as a career after a Diploma in Fine Arts from Abhinav Kala Mahavidyalaya. She is a post-graduate in Art Education from Bharati Vidyapeeth. Patkar has exhibited in Pune, Sharjah and Dubai. Her paintings are done using acrylic and mixed media with rich textures.
