Art by Bhaskar Rao is defined by his recurring motif of the tree, a multilayered emblem not only of the earth but also of Indian mythology and culture. The artist developed a deep reverence for nature during his childhood on a farm in rural Andhra Pradesh, where his father taught him to plant and grow a mango tree of his own. As Bhaskar explains his ongoing fascination, “Trees have a significant role in our cultural landscape, for they not only yield fruits but provide shade as well and cover and protect the surface of the earth. They have come to play a sacred role.”

Although he has continuously rendered the tree, contemporary Indian artist Bhaskar Rao finds a new approach to his chosen theme with each painting. He begins by layering thick coats of acrylic paint, building up a complex texture on the canvas. For the backgrounds, trunks and abundant leaves, his color palettes are not limited to the expected greens but instead shift between subdued grays and saturated bright primary hues. At the end of this intuitive process, he always achieves a bold effect that captures the majesty and vitality of trees.

Bhaskar Rao received his BFA in Painting from Andhra University Visakhapatnam and his MFA in Painting from University of Hyderabad. He has since exhibited work across India, as well as internationally in Germany, Russia, Taiwan and the United Arab Emirates. His work has also been recognized with a Junior Fellowship from (H.R.D.) Ministry of Tourism & Culture, the Prafulla Foundation award and the State-level Painting Award from Potti Sreeramulu Telugu University.
