Ms.Bhawana is an artist from Bhopal, India, Born in 1972 Indore (M.P.)
India. She is Post Graduate in Drawing & Painting from Govt. Girls College
(Nutan College), Bhopal.
Bhawana's paintings are mostly abstract with touch of
realism which is evident in the figures and forms seen
in the paintings, but the central theme of the
paitings is nature in its all colorful glory. In her
paintings she has explicitly accentuated upon five
elements of life - air, water, fire, earth and sky. In
the paintings she wishes to communicate feelings of
somnolence and solitude. to some level the paitings
are inclined towards spritualism.
