Shilpa Pandit Patole

"The main source of inspiration for me is the day-to-day activities, which evoke a strong feeling in my mind. The rapport between the artist and his work should be so immediate that, it should give a supple quality to the work done. I feel it should be as easy as any other work we do.I feel that Art reflects life. Art is not what is perceived on the surface, but it is beyond this. Less thinking and more spontaneity is basis of my work

Pandit feels that her works should impel the viewer to delve deeply in their thoughts and to stop at for a moment to be led into a world that is within them."
