Bhavisha Patel

Bhavisha's art exhibits influences of several continents. Indian by ethnicity, born and brought up in Kenya, educated in England, and now living in Philadelphia, her art spans from the African Savannah, to the urban landscapes of Philadelphia and also exhibit Indian cultural influences. A self-taught artist of over 20 years, she easily transitions from nature scenes to urban scenes, that carry a romantic, nostalgic feel. Inspired, initially by works of Corot and Gustave Caillebotte, she has an impressionist / representational style.
Bhavisha's subject matter ranges form charging elephant bulls that roamed her backyard in Kenya; to cold snowy days, with snow laden tree branches dancing with each other in a show of strength, and stored energy for the spring; the awesomeness of a stormy sea that can be threatening and yet sustains us; empty serene urban parks; tranquil waters over a rocky river beds and more. Her art captures the beauty of our world and the harmony that exists in nature, life that is strong, calm, and beautiful.
Ultimately, she hopes that her art will help society see God’s glory in the world, respect nature and its power and learn from it. More recently she has intertwined her inspirational writings with her paintings by hanging next to the painting a print of the painting with writings superimposed on the image. Her works have been exhibited in several solo and group shows and her paintings are in private collections around the world.
