Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot others transform a yellow spot into the sun”- Pablo Picasso.

Bharati Shah is among the latter group of painters. She has excelled in painting and has been painting for over two decades now. Her paintings bring out positivity to her audiences and call for a moment to hold and just watch. Her elegant creations and contemporary artworks are indeed a sight to behold. The uniqueness of her work and the fantastic sense of colour are what sets her apart. One never gets tired of seeing her paintings. The use of colours is a riot and the treatment is unmatchable.

She believes that the process of painting is the process of healing. Her paintings say things that are unsaid or unspoken. Bharati Shah is a self-taught artist with bold artistic expression across different mediums like oil, watercolors, acrylic, etc. Her works bring out the best of any location- be it homes or office places across the globe.

After over 9 solo exhibitions and many group exhibitions, she is exhibiting for the first time in New Delhi. Her works adorn the walls of many private collectors; private persons and corporate offices in India; the USA; the UK; UAE; etc.

Artist Bharati Shah says, " The last couple of years I have felt that there is one more shade to my life. It is a wonderful experience discovering this new shade in me. It surprises me, and all those around me. This is my 'Metamorphosis'- which I have translated into a canvas”.

Her culinary skills are very much appreciated and she has authored a book on spices – where she also compiled names of various spices in English, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati.

She lives in Ahmedabad with her husband Mr. Samir J Shah and has 2 daughters Dr. Priyali and Dr. Maadri and a grandson Rumi. Being an animal lover, she is a pet parent and takes care of community dogs. Her garden boasts of a large variety of plants and many birds who have made it their home.
