Simple Mohanty Pani

My passion for art since childhood saw me trying to capture the fascinating beauty of nature- whether azure skies, the play of light and shade on foliage, or the multi-hued iridescence of flowers- on paper.
       As a creative artist, I have been deeply touched by the beauty, balance, rhythm, resilience and vibrant colours of nature and natural cycles, which find their ways of manifesting in the bustle of human life and culture as well. I am drawn towards subjects that reflect these- they could be flowers, water bodies, animals, still-life or people in the midst of any or all of these. My subjects, are therefore, organically connected to nature. I try to capture on canvas the very soul, vitality and life-force of the subjects, whose beauty moves me.


An academician by profession with a PhD in Pol Sc, art is my passion and my art journey has been influenced both by master artists I follow and by the contemporary art scene both in India & abroad. Having widely exhibited my works in New Delhi & abroad and having won laurels at home & abroad, my artistic journey gets more exhilarating with each passing day! I draw inspiration from the works of Henri Matisse, Van Gogh, Amrita Shergill, Gustav Klimt & Erin Hanson among many others
