Dive into unknown Painting

“Art helps us to find ourselves and to lose ourselves at the same time.” said the mystic Thomas Merton. The meditative and deeply personal paintings by Dr.Sharmila Tulpule eco these sentiments and inspires the viewer to join her in her mental, spiritual and emotional journey. The vivid strokes that characterize her canvases bear witness to the strength of conviction and clarity of perception with which she views herself, her world and everything in and beyond it. A self-taught artist, Sharmila, uses her canvases as a gateway to self-exploration and discovery.  The spiritual and otherworldly ambiance that her works exude is only heightened by the sensitive and often veiled approach she has adopted to depict her subject matter. Be it the monks of the mountains, the beauty of nature, or even her abstract masterpieces, in all her paintings she succeeds in capturing the emotion of the moment and portray subtle sensations that linger with the viewer. Dr. Sharmila is an orthopedic surgeon by profession and an artist by passion. She has participated in numerous art shows in both India and abroad. If there is one thing that Sharmila enjoys more than working in her studio, then it’s sharing her soulful creations with her friends and collectors. “Painting, for me, is pure meditation, a dive into something beyond mind, trying to cross the boundaries of consciousness.” says the artist about her own work.
