"The Last Watch, Soldier tired in the war" Painting

Poonam Sharma is a UK-based painter working in classical and figurative traditions. Her work is informed by spirituality and a disciplined study of light, form, and human presence. Drawing inspiration from Old Master techniques and traditional realism, Poonam creates paintings that emphasize quiet intensity, emotional depth, and refined craftsmanship. Using a restrained colour palette and carefully controlled lighting, she seeks to reveal the inner life of her subjects rather than surface likeness alone. Each painting is approached as a contemplative process, inviting the viewer into a space where stillness, spirituality, and human emotion intersect. Her work reflects a commitment to traditional techniques while remaining deeply personal and expressive. Now based in Newport, Gwent, UK, Poonam Sharma continues to develop her practice through ongoing study and studio practice, creating works that are timeless, intimate, and quietly powerful.
