Amit Bhar’s captivating paintings look more like they are shot on camera and less like they are painted on canvas. Inspired by realism, Amit’s paintings capture the serene beauty of the Ganga Ghats in the holy city of Banaras, recreate the charm of a youthful woman, and paint the 3-dimensional sculptures of Ganesha and Buddha on his canvas.

For instance, the artist loves painting Ganga Ghat at the crack of dawn, a cloudy sky and sunset. Similar to Banaras Ghat, sadhu or the saints and boats are an important part of Amit’s paintings. Deeply meditating, praying, or performing rituals, these saints enhance the beauty of the paintings on the scenic setting of Banaras Ghats.
