G. Kulkarni award are milestones I deeply cherish. These moments at galleries like Kamalnayan Bajaj remind me that art is not just about the painting itself, but the connection it builds with the audience and fellow artists across platforms. My art practice has always been driven by the need to connect, whether it is on canvas or through live interaction. Participating in exhibitions like 'Infinite Strokes' at the Nehru Centre or being invited as a guest to universities like MIT-WPU is where I find real energy. These are not just display spaces, they are classrooms where I get to discuss the 'why' behind my work with students and art lovers. Being recognized by foundations like Prafulla Dahanukar Art Foundation is humbling, but the most rewarding part remains the dialogue that happens after the paint dries. From live watercolour portrait demonstrations at Balgandharva Kala Dalan in Pune to floor-scroll calligraphy sessions at cultural festivals, I focus on making the creative process accessible. If you are organizing an art event, gallery exhibition, or university workshop, I bring more than just my paintings. I bring my process, my influences, and a genuine desire to engage with the audience. I am always open to collaborating on art festivals, panel discussions, or academic demonstrations across India. ## About Amit Dhane I am a watercolour artist based in Pune, deeply inspired by the ancient energy of Indian sculpture and my own family roots. For me, creating art is a constant conversation with my heritage, and I love sharing this journey through live demos and exhibitions.
