Satish Ghatpande

Satish Ghatpande is Illustrator and Photofinishing Artist for last 20 years with leading Advertising Agencies in Pune.

As the artist himself likes to put it - The medium holds endless possibilities and new ideas. The closer you get to one, a further more challenging one beckons !

He creates the vivid beauty of life through supple fingers and paper. He stretches the possibilities of paper willing to shape itself at the hands of the maestro.

He utilizes his penchant for meticulous detail and an almost unending storehouse of patience to bring alive figures, birds and landscape. The paper too, starts out just as plain and steadily rises to the occasion!

"Paper Magic" is his artistic effort to dissolve the unseen barriers created over the ages between art and its viewers.

Paper sculpture is a different kind of art. It is a direct form of expression. It denies the fact that art is always bound with a message or thought. So many times, layers of abstraction or a splash of inordinate colours draw the viewer away from the creation. Paper sculpture on the other hand strives to embrace the viewer without letting the mind wander for interpretation.

Intricate twists and turns make this amazing art a challenging proposition but for a true artist, that's where the fun begins!!
