ABOUT PRITHVI SONI

Symbolic Relationships

The Original Poster Painter Of Bollywood, Prithvi Soni’s work depicts the true to life images of rural India in a vast array of emotions. There is beauty, mystery, longing, sadness, anticipation and hope. His paintings are oil based whirlpools of subtle shades. He is well recognized for his ‘musical’ old men and nubile women. His work is a study of the symbiotic relationship between beauty and music. His paintings of aristocratic women evokes a bygone era that was exclusively a womans world. Fragrant and delicate, narcissistic in some manner but also exquisitely elegant.

The subdued colours and soft strokes he employs when he paints the people of villages in Northern India are surely the most distinctive features of his work. Like most other artists who paint village scenes and subjects, Prithvi Soni’s preferred medium of painting is oil and as a surface he always uses canvas.
