Vinod Sharma
Vinod Sharma, the Mountain Man of India probably isn’t an artist so much in love with his country’s landscape, more specifically its great chain of mountains as Sharma. It’s like breathing in a breath of clean mountain air to stand among his creations. The mist is descending, the snow-capped mountains are staring back at you, and the semi-frozen lake at the summit of a mountain range is chilling. The colour scheme, depth illusion, and brushwork are all unwaveringly accurate and faithful to life. Every scenario has this kind of stillness. The serenity and silence in his works contrast with the fundamental essence of his city and are amazing for someone who lives in Delhi, where there is constantly so much noise around them. Nevertheless, his creations are seldom exact replicas of the original. Despite being completely abstract, they all manage to capture the charm and majesty of the mountains in a charming and touching way. Every one of his creations never fails to arouse emotion, to make one want to linger motionless for a long time amidst the mountains where the mist is constantly rising and enticing people to fall prey to its endless allure.
