Mystical Journeys in Ink: Where Freedom and Form collide

 “Bharari: Soaring Beyond Limits” Invites You to Experience Mystic Prose and Poetry Expressed Through Ink Paintings.

Art lovers are invited to a unique exhibition, “Bharari”, which showcases the evocative mastery of ink art in styles ranging from ink wash and pen-and-ink to mark-making. This exhibition is the culmination of 12 years of dedication by contemporary artist Dipali Meher, where the timeless themes of the soul's journey toward higher consciousness are visually expressed in a fusion of mystic prose and art. In Marathi, “Bharari” means “a leap” or “flight,” symbolizing the soul's journey toward liberation and self-realization. The paintings prominently feature birds, symbolizing the spirit’s journey as it navigates the winds of life. Using symbolic figures like birds, bulls, and horses, Meher explores themes of freedom, ego, and progress. Through these symbolic figures, the artist explores the harmony between nature and the self.
