Ramachandra Kharatmal, born in 1977 and based in Pune, has traversed a remarkable path in his sensitive and creative pursuit as a realist painter. Originally from Solapur, he wholeheartedly embraced art, dedicating himself fully and working as a freelance artist.
Ramachandra possesses immense skill as a realist, adept at capturing the beauty of forms and shapes under a fixed light source. His palette is rich and abundant, allowing him to convey ironies through the strategic use of contrasting colors and juxtaposed images. He exhibits extraordinary control over the contours of the human form, skillfully expressing subtle messages, such as the poignant narrative conveyed by a pair of weathered hands.
While brevity is a hallmark of his imagery, it is artfully concealed by the opulence of his colors. The warmth of his touch creates tender illusions, interweaving colors with past memories—a characteristic feature reminiscent of an orthodox quilt. The entangled state of mind, golden memories, blossoming shapes, rhythmic figures, and the resplendent interplay of colors collectively evoke the essence of a quilt.
In the contemporary realm of colors, Ramachandra masterfully unfolds this quilt on canvas, perpetuating its warmth and past memories. His paintings, when observed, wield a timeless influence, leaving an eternal impact on the viewer.
