Abhi Patel

I am a painter and photographer based in Gujarat, India
For many years I worked on figurative paintings, but some years ago I started painting colorful abstract paintings. They are expressionist and geometric works. In all of them, emotions are the main subject. These paintings talk about feelings, try to tell stories.
I tend to use bright colors in order to create vibrancy, dynamism and optimism.
My paintings are a hymn to the beauty of nature and life.
In my last works, I am experiencing with the combination of a painting and photographs in black and white. I call this collection "Emotional landscapes".
In them I'm looking for a new interpretation of the landscape through the dialogue between photography and painting.
My preferred mediums are oil and acrylic on canvas and I generally paint on hand stretched canvas. I also do limited edition photography prints on canvas.
My work has been exhibed in solo, group and traveling exhibitions, and is hanging in private collections over the world.
