ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Pritha Bhadra is a floral, portrait and still life painter based in Singapore. Her realism paintings focus on daily life, encompassing portraits and still life compositions.
ARTIST STATEMENT
As a traditional floral and portrait artist, I draw and paint with oil, graphite and charcoal in the traditional realism style infused with a contemporary touch.
My creative process starts with an emotional spark triggered by something I see, whether it’s flowers, people or still life. Subsequently, I engage in creating studies of these subjects before getting started on the actual painting. Throughout the painting process, I explore various brushstrokes and colors, experimenting to bring my artistic vision to life.
I draw substantial inspiration from the wisdom of revered masters like William Adolphe Bouguereau, Henry Fantin Latour among many others.
Through my drawings and paintings, my goal is to reveal the profound simplistic beauty that surrounds us and I want the viewer to embark on a journey of discovery and emotions. My wish, for those who experience my art, is to be captivated by the glimpses of everyday life and nature, leaving them captivated and inspired.
