Modern Art Paintings
Arvind Kolapkar
Joined Craft Tatva: September 2021
Born in 1975 in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, Arvind Kolapkar’s works are bright, happy expressions of joyous unions. In most of his paintings, one observes an amorous couple or groups of friends enjoying each other’s company, giving his work the appearance of a tribute to the relationships that people share. Arvind is greatly inspired by music, particularly classical and folk music which has played a predominant role in his work. A flute is a constant motif, appearing in almost all of his canvases, provoking one to make references to the mythical Krishna and his idyllic world of joy.
Focus Areas: Couples, Figures, etc.
