Suchitra Bhosle

Growing up in Bangalore, India, Suchitra Bhosle was exposed to the world of painting through two artists in her family, her father and grandmother, who helped establish an early appreciation for art. These influences allowed her to see the world through an artist’s filter beginning at a young age. She was highly perceptive and as a child had the ability to find beauty everywhere around her, even in mundane objects she found in the kitchen, backyard, or a book. When she wasn’t painting or daydreaming, she was reading art books. Her oil paintings are bursting with life: Bhosle strives to depict the atmosphere of a setting and mood of the model. She is aided in this by her knowledge of use of color as well as her study of the anatomical underpinnings that serve as the foundation of her paintings.
