Deepali Rhode

Deepali Rhode is a self-taught artist whose practice is driven by curiosity, colour and observation. Working primarily in oils, soft pastels and oil pastels, she moves fluidly between expressive, textured compositions and refined, realistic studies.

Inspired by nature, travel and the quiet beauty of everyday life, her work ranges from atmospheric landscapes to intimate still lifes of fruit, flowers and domestic objects. Rather than adhering to a single style, she allows each subject to dictate its treatment, exploring light, tone and material to create compositions that feel both contemporary and vibrant. Her handling of colour is often noted for its warmth and vitality.

Born in India and raised in Sydney, Deepali later worked in finance before living in Dubai, New York, Paris and now London. These varied cultural environments subtly inform her visual language, enriching her sensitivity to atmosphere and place.

Her paintings reflect an intuitive engagement with materials and a desire to capture moments of quiet joy, translating everyday subjects into works that feel alive with colour and energy.
