Bharati Dixit
A painting begins with lines and dots and then takes along the colors to become the soul of a canvas. Sometimes one is totally amazed that how the colors and figures blend magically on canvas and this inspires to be novel and prolific. When I talk with colors they captivate me so much that in some divine state of mind a phenomenal image appears on canvas through a beautiful mixture of different colors.

Chandrakant Tajbije
	As an artist I try to capture the intimacy of the rural spirit in my art. I find nature as the true inspiration which gives me visual sensations that I try to depict in my paintings.

Their simple charm and innocence moves me and I try to show it with subtle gestures and postures which give my work a symbolic sub-text.
