Dinkar Jadhav, born in 1973 in the quaint town of Jhadavadi, Pune, has carved a unique artistic path for himself. He initially gained recognition with his ‘Ashwa Chitramala’ (The Horse series!), which was met with both success and admiration. Through countless hours of dedication, he revived his horse paintings, imbuing them with a new sense of vitality and later introducing a new element, the Bull. In his earlier works, intense emotions and fierce passion burst forth through vibrant colors and bold strokes on the canvas.
Now, Jadhav’s anguish has transformed into love, and his passion has evolved into a deep affection. His latest series, aptly named ‘Lust for Love,’ portrays couples of horses immersed in passionate love, capturing the essence of eternal romance. The colors are vibrant and self-assured, the brush strokes gentle yet confident, echoing the spirit of ‘carpe diem’ – seize the day! These paintings symbolize humanity’s relentless pursuit of the profound emotion called love.
In addition to horses, Jadhav has introduced bulls, representing muscularity and virility, into his portfolio. These bulls exude strength, confidence, and determination as they charge toward their dreams. This series reflects Jadhav’s heartfelt dedication and showcases his honest, enduring journey toward artistic excellence.
