Born in Nagpur in 1975 and based in Pune, Gayatri Deshpande is an artist and educator who completed her Diploma in Fine Arts from Abhinav Kala Mahavidyalaya. As the founder of Gayatri, her teaching space, she works with both adults and children while nurturing her own evolving practice. For her, painting is a language that begins where words fall short—a way to articulate thoughts and emotions that resist verbal expression.
Gayatri’s work draws deeply from her intimate encounters with nature, especially her walks through the woods where she observes its shifting moods and quiet wisdom. These experiences shape her muted, sophisticated palettes and her abstract expressionist approach. She works primarily in acrylic and oil, using the palette knife to build textured surfaces that hold movement, depth, and stillness simultaneously.
Her paintings evoke the tranquility, strength, and mystery of the natural world. Each piece begins with an instinctive idea rather than a planned composition, revealing its meaning only upon completion. Through color, form, and texture, Gayatri creates a contemplative space where viewers are invited to reconnect with nature’s grace—and with their own inner landscape.
