Revati Gangal - Watercolor

Revati Gangal is of Indian nationality. She lives in Pune, Maharashtra, (India).

“Art is cathartic for me; it’s emotion that drives me to paint.”
She explores new visual approaches through color, form, composition, texture, medium, and subject matter in each painting.
Curious by nature, she uses various techniques such as charcoal, ink, pastel, watercolor , and acrylic paint for every expression she wants to convey.

She explores, in particular, sexuality within the society around her. Insecurity, shame, fear, and uncertainty regarding desire and its fulfillment remain central themes for her. She also aims to celebrate sexuality as a normal part of life and to recognize its positive importance.
Sexuality, she says, plays a significant role in shaping our self-confidence, our self-perception, and our capacity to love and accept ourselves.

Art gives him the opportunity to manage his inner conflicts.

Revati uses her artistic creation to alleviate the social and cultural constraints she experiences in her environment. It is a form of liberation for her, which she also offers to her audience.

The subject is viewed from different perspectives, using metaphors, symbols, and seemingly simplistic figurative visuals.

His quest is, in reality, the profound meaning of life. How to live on both a spiritual and physical level?

"I feel safe and in control when I turn inward and become aware of my conscious and unconscious feelings."
