Artist Statement:
The art of Suhas Tavkar shows
a unique relationship between
the human form and the human
touch that created it.
Ever since I could remember,
as a child growing up in
India, I was always fascinated
with our universe, thinking of
it as God's created largest
art gallery with display of
all different size planets and
stars. We see this God's
exhibit during the day with
the sunlight and at night with
the moonlight. So far, our
living planet is one of
nature's greatest art pieces.
Our oceans are God's created
largest and mysterious
aquariums. I think every
living creature on earth is an
artist and also a wonderful
piece of art by itself.
With that fascination towards
nature and art, I strived to
create something as unique as
the world around us.
Suhas Tavkar was born in 1942
and raised in Mumbai, (Bombay)
India. He was taught the art
of fingernail embossing as a
child, at the age of 4 by his
father Anant who in turn,
learned it from his father. As
a teenager, Suhas would
entertain his friends by
embossing their names in
calligraphy in both Marathi
(his native language), and in
English. ...
