My Inspirations
“Visions that Shape My Art”
Shri Chandulal chhaganlal Shah, my grandfather whom I used to call as Dada was my first inspiration. He was a great Artist and I have seen him painting mainly Gandhiji right from my childhood. Seeing is not only believing but for me it was following, adopting and adoring. Whatever art I have inherited is all because of him and I am proud to be his grandson.
The live link between me and my dada is my masi. Even at the age of almost 90 she is full of life and vigour. She is the one who inherited Art from my dada and kept alive the legacy in our family. Even today whenever I need advice on social front or on painting, she is always there to help me and guide me. Whatever I am today is all because of her blessings and good wishes.
Shri Natubhai Parikh was my first Guruji and instrumental in starting of my journey since 2015. Unfortunately he is no more but his memories are still live in my heart as well with every art lover of Gujarat. At the age of 90+ his love for painting was so intense that whenever I used to meet him, I used to find traces of colours on his fingers and nails!!! He will be always remembered in the field of Art as most eminent watercolor landscape Artist from Gujarat.
In 2017 I witnessed live demo of watercolor painting by Bhavesh sir in Ravi Shankar Rawal Kala bhavan where his exhibitionwas going on. I was really impressed and inspired by his technique. And since then till today I seek his guidance. He is eminent watercolor artist from Bhavnagar and has received many accolades out of which the most prestigious and recent is Silver Award from IMWA (International masters of watercolor and alliance) he runs classes in the name of ‘Jai Ganesh Art Studio’.
since last 20 years.
Once the principle of prestigious Sheth C N school of fine arts, Shri Manhar Kapadia is my mentor since last four years and I am proud to be his mentee. I always find living image of my grandfather ‘dada’ in him as both have special affinity for Gandhiji and have done a lot many paintings of Bapu. We both share excellent common wavelength not only in Art but also in many subjects like social aspects, public front, academic avenues as well religion talks. I really enjoy his company and look forward to see him and enjoy cup of tea every Sunday morning.
