Rakhee
is an artist currently based in Bombay (Mumbai), India. Coupled with
the fact that she did not opt for any formal training or tutelage
in the field of art, she has set directions to her life. Her
paintings in oils and a form of stucco are painstakingly executed
with minute detail. Her paintings, which involve intense craftsmanship, include figurative works portraying
the beauty and grace of Indian women in ethnic formal attire,
to carvings in the form of various kinds of décor. She
also creates murals with various different designs which range
from being contemporary to abstract in style on canvas / wood.
Landscapes, seascapes, still-life, etchings, stipling, nature (flowers, animals, birds), fabric painting, nib painting, drawings & sketches, designs (geometric, floral, ornamental, contemporary),
as well as abstract paintings are the various other subjects explored by her. Her paintings
are unique in their style of execution as they represent more
of architectural work on canvas, her wide collection ranging over 13 years.
Apart from specialising in oil paintings on canvas, Rakhee has constantly had the urge to use various media and multiple subjects. Her works also include different media like water-colours, pastels, acrylics, charcoal, croquil & ink colours, tie & dye and batik (which form the background of the painting), mixed media, etc. Besides, she has also created a significant collection of modern art paintings resembling earthscapes, historic ruins, underwater life, etc. Rakhee has donated several of her paintings over the past few years for various charity causes. Rakhee has always been a great enthusiast of performing arts like western dance and fashion shows. She has performed in approx. 45 shows ranging right from her college days till date. "Although
Rakhee has had no formal training, she has developed into a
dedicated and skilful artist with a unique vision. I was immediately
impressed by the strange beauty of her work and am privileged
to promote and assist in its introduction in England." Private
