Artiste Mahesh Karambele’s latest painting is titled Footprints and there’s a story behind the making of the picture. Before he embarked on this painting Karambele first uncluttered his mind and later his studio. He discarded everything he did not need and was happy to be in open space in his tiny 10ft x 8ft studio. He noticed that the sky was pink and his new painting needed to reflect that and more.

Karambele says that even before he lifted the brush he knew something special was about to happen, he could sense it and followed his instinct. He was going through troubled times and wanted to heal himself and he did expressing himself on the canvass through varied colors. “For the first time, I stepped on to the canvass and recreated my own footprints, it was a strange feeling as I dabbled in vibrant colours expressing my joy and anger, anxiety and passion, smiling and crying all at the same time
