Indian artist Aasmita Patil is a BSc graduate and also a Post-Graduate in Industrial Relations and Personnel Management. She did not have formal training in art, but creativity was always deep in her and poured from her one day, starting with pencil sketching. And after discovering the joy of working in oils and acrylics, there was no looking back for this prolific artist! She has since participated in several shows and received tremendous response from these exhibitions which has solidified her faith in her inner calling. “Life is very beautiful and when it comes on canvas, where it becomes more real,” she says.
Her art style is very kitsch, and also does abstracts when in the mood. “When I am painting, it is like my emotions are flowing in this river of imaginations, waiting to come out,” she says with a dreamy look. “Bringing with it a wave of positivity that creates a dam of energy around me.”
Her muse if a cow, is Kamdhenu, the celestial cow in Hindu mythology, the giver of all wishes, and is also mentioned in the Vedas. Mother Earth is represented as the goddess Kamadhenu. Aasmita canvases, although, strikingly bold in her use of primary colors masterfully brushed on the canvas, have a dreamlike quality to them. A vein of reverence runs through all her works, as she creates these vivid montages as a homage to the divinity of the cow form. In some ways, it is creating hope to fulfil all that the human heart could possibly want.
