SHRADDHA RATHI

Shraddha’s inclinations towards creative and aesthetic elements can be

attributed to the fact that she spent her formative years in Aurangabad, home

to Ajanta and Ellora. This inclination was given a more expressive form

through her training in Bharatnatyam and Odissi dance forms. An

accomplished Bharatnatyam dancer, she has represented India in Paris,

Malaysia and Singapore in 1997.

Along with dance, she has also been involved in other fine arts. What began

as an interest in clay modeling and charcoal painting soon evolved into a

keen craftsmanship in various art forms such as Madhubani from Bihar and

Tanjore from Tamil Nadu. The medium of oil on canvas became a part of

Shraddha’s oeuvre around 14 years ago.

With such a keen sense of aesthetics, she pursued her higher education in

the area of architecture, and is an Architect.

This series is called Sangham Saranam Gacchami which states the

importance of being with like minded people. This is based on Buddha’s life

before he decided to leave the world. Each painting can have a different

message for each one of us depending on our life experiences. The use of

different colours is ideally supposed to depict Buddha’s message of peace.
