School or a bustling street, I prioritize capturing the atmosphere over mere photographic realism. You will notice that my still life works, such as those focusing on Indian cuisine, use a deliberate palette to evoke a sense of heritage rather than just visual description. My practice in landscape and still life is rooted in the discipline of observational art. When I step outside to paint plein air, I am not merely recording a scene. I am documenting the light, the fleeting atmosphere, and the human presence within a space. This is a rigorous process. It requires one to synthesize complex environments into a coherent composition within hours before the light changes. In my studio work, I shift focus toward cultural objects. Painting a traditional thali or the specific textures of condiments is an exercise in cultural preservation. These objects are vessels of our history. By rendering them with careful attention to shadow and tone, I aim to transform the mundane into something significant. I avoid photorealism because it often lacks the artist's emotional signature. Instead, I utilize acrylics to build textures that hold the viewer’s eye, inviting them to linger on the subtle interplay of light across a bowl or a surface. Whether you are looking to commission a landscape of a significant location or a still life that anchors a dining space, my approach remains consistent. I treat the canvas as a site of study. These pieces are intended to serve as enduring markers of the daily human experience, stripped of the chaotic distractions of modern life. ## About Pratap Badtya I am Pratap.
