YOGESH BHANDARI

I was born in Baluwakot, a remote mountainous region of Dharchula. I consider myself fortunate to have been born amidst the embrace of nature's lap, and these mountains have significantly contributed to my journey towards becoming an artist. They have been a profound source of inspiration, particularly for my landscape paintings. Living within the embrace of our folk culture and civilization has granted me the privilege of painting the vibrant tapestry of our people's lives, capturing the innocent countenances of both our fellow humans and the mountainous visages upon the canvas of my work.

Right from the outset, my preferred artistic medium has been watercolor. Much like how water quenches our physical thirst, watercolors satisfy my thirst for artistic expression. I am drawn to the continuous flow of water – its unrestrained nature mirrors the boundless freedom I find in exploring various branches, styles, and techniques of art. Similar to the unhindered flow of water, there exists no imposition on the realm of art.

Continuing to actively engage in artistic creation and conducting research on this subject remain steadfast priorities for me in the time ahead. As I look toward the future, I am committed to the ongoing pursuit of my artistic endeavors and the expansion of my understanding within this realm.
