Bhagvati Nath

I am a fine artist, painting hyper realistic images from nature with a spiritual twist in watercolour on canvas or paper. I use colour, light,shade & the 'shapes in between'to explore the cosmic patterns present in all things.
Born and educated in England, I was based in Italy for 8 years but also travelled greatly. In 1994 I married an Indian saddhu and we ran an ashram in the Indian Himalayas with our daughter. Inspired by the mountains, trees, rocks and rivers I began to paint after a 20 year break. We moved to Goa for our daughter's education and discovered people liked my paintings. Now I am a full time artist. I had 2 international solo exhibitions in 2011, in Innsbruck, Austria and Delhi, India. In 2012 I painted the paintings and sketches for a movie about an artist(Mangola Productions, Swiss/Bollywood), illustrated a book cover and designed prints for dress and pants (Ojemine - Germany/Goa)as well as my usual watercolours.
