A brushstroke of serenity in a chaotic world

Art has been an inseparable part of my life for as long as I can remember. What began as simple childhood sketches gradually evolved into a lifelong pursuit of creativity and self-expression. Over the years, my journey through colors, textures, and forms has shaped not just my art, but who I am.
My works are a reflection of my experiences, emotions, and deep connection with the world around me. I find immense joy in exploring the expressive power of knife strokes, which allow me to bring energy, movement, and texture to each canvas. Every stroke is deliberate — a dialogue between control and spontaneity.
This exhibition is a celebration of my journey — a tribute to my dedication, pride, and artistic voice that has matured through years of practice, learning, and exploration. Through my paintings, I hope to evoke emotions that resonate beyond the surface, connecting the viewer to the same sense of wonder that inspires me to create.

Our Vision

Balaram Arts was founded to make fine art more personal — to bring the artist’s studio directly to the viewer. Each painting carries a story, an emotion, and the essence of the artist himself.

“For me, art is not just what I create — it’s a part of who I am.”
 — Balaram Sawant
