Sharad Kale creates a collage of mixed media. Turning colours into alluring compositions that build a dialogue with his thoughts, people and shapes, Sharad portrays kaleidoscopic patterns giving depth to each form. He is a student of Raheja School of Art, Mumbai. While in school, he was exposed to different mediums, which gave him a good base to hone his skills. While he started off creating impressions of other artists over the years he found his own style using mixed media.

He likes the simplicity of primary colours – red, yellow and blue. And, of course there is black and white, which is so mysterious, yet, very communicative.
Art is an evolving process. There is no definite form to art – it changes, as you change. When he starts to paint, he is usually as blank as his canvas. He say, “I don’t plan my artwork; I go with flow of my colours and art strokes until I stop to make that final signature. In my journey as an artist, I am grateful to have met teachers who have helped me grow at various stages in life. And, now as an art teacher myself, I try to instill this free flow of art in my students.”
