Anand Panchal

For me, it begins with the raw, rooted idea of ‘home’, a place of mud walls, warmth, and memory. My humble space in Latur, Maharashtra, is what seeded my imagination.

About Artist

Rooted in village life and shaped by urban transitions, Anand Panchal's paintings celebrate rural India through vibrant colors, emotional depth, and a striking blend of realism and abstraction. Anand Panchal (b. 1973, Latur, Maharashtra) is a contemporary Indian artist renowned for his evocative depictions of rural life, spiritual narratives, and mythological themes. Born into a family of woodcarvers, Panchal’s creative path was carved early, nurtured by supportive teachers and a deep connection to his cultural roots. His paintings are deeply influenced by the simplicity and spiritual resonance of rural Maharashtra. Panchal’s figures - slender village boys, serene women, wandering animals appear in gentle interactions with each other. The simplicity of village life, the quiet moments of human connection and the sanctity of tradition are all gently rendered through his impasto-rich surfaces and vibrant palettes. Anand Panchal paints from a place of reverence, where childhood memories meet the timeless pulse of spiritual tradition. His style evokes the touch of village soil, the hush of dusk in the countryside, and the golden glow of memory. Viewers are invited not just to observe, but to step into a world where myth and moment coexist. His art unfolds in rituals remembered, silences shared, and sanctuaries of emotion - each piece a meditation, a murmuring echo, a visual hymn to the inner and outer worlds we carry within us.
