Artist Bhaswati Sinha

Meet the artist

Bhaswati Sinha

Bhaswati is an artist who expresses her feelings and emotions through the glow of light she observes in the real world. She originates from a place where the love of nature comes built into every person; her father was a sculptor. Her paintings represent the spiritual balance of light and dark and their interdependence — she believes every soul is a light that illuminates the path of knowledge and righteousness.

She took an intensive art-mastery program studying old master skills and techniques at the Milan Art Institute in Arizona, and works with a strong sense of figurative artistry. All of her work is based on light and glow, in a strong chiaroscuro style, with a definite storyline: believe in yourself.

Her expertise is in mixed media — an inner layer of collage and texture for mystery, a layer of acrylic for the foundation, and a final layer of oil to balance the brightness of glowing light against the darkness around it. In Fire Joy she teaches that same approach directly, one layer at a time.
