Sulakshana Dharmadikari

Since ancient times, humans have always been inspired by Nature. Earlier we lived very close to nature
in villages. However, with growing urbanization we again feel the urge to get close to nature. Everything
on this earth is made of the five elements. Humans are no exception.
All the components in nature like colors, shapes, birds, animals have always inspired me. Especially the
flowers, the gracefully wandering butterflies and their extremely attractive colors have always
fascinated me. That is what I’ve tried to depict through my painting. I’ve chosen oil on canvas as my
medium. Through this, I’ve been able to portray the softness of flowers, the flexibility of butterflies, and
texture of leaves.
