ASHMEET BHARAJ

I am a contemporary visual artist and graphic designer based in Gwalior. I seeks to capture the subtle beauty of nature, people, still life, and landscapes, often blending realism with impressionism. My art tells stories, evokes emotions, and invites moments of reflection, whether it’s through the expressive use of colors or the textures I apply.

plein air painting

Plein air painting is the art of painting outdoors, directly immersed in nature. The term comes from the French “en plein air,” meaning “in the open air.” This approach allows artists to observe and capture the changing light, colors, and atmosphere of a scene in real time, giving their work a fresh and vibrant quality. Unlike studio painting, it encourages spontaneity and quick brushwork, often resulting in more dynamic and expressive pieces. Popularized by Impressionist painters like Claude Monet, plein air painting celebrates the beauty of the natural world and the artist’s direct connection to it.

still life

Still life is a genre of visual art that focuses on the depiction of inanimate objects, often arranged in a carefully composed setting. These objects can include natural elements like fruits, flowers, shells as well as man-made items such as books, glassware, tools, and textiles. Still life allows artists to experiment with composition, light, texture, and color, offering a controlled environment to showcase technical skill and artistic expression.

live painting

Live painting is a form of art created in real time, often in front of an audience. It transforms the act of painting into a performance, allowing viewers to witness the creative process from the first stroke to the final detail. Often seen at events, exhibitions, or festivals, live painting adds an interactive and spontaneous element to visual art, making each piece a one-of-a-kind experience.
