Sharad is based out of Pune and has been making art in numerous media forms for about 40 years now. He started out through photography which he still holds a love for today and has slowly evolved into making abstract paintings after indulging in sculptures, murals, stained glass, acrylic moulding and other media.
Making an effort to travel across the country to meet with different artists, to experience different landscapes and communities is what inspires him.
Throughout his career, he has written numerous articles for reputed newspapers about art and the process of being an artist.
He is also the author of a book,'Pathare: Ek Avliya', about his and Suchita's guru of 30 years and a well-renowned artist himself, Mr.Arun Pathare, which has received great immense praise from the art community and beyond.
