Kamal Devnatha Art

Kamal has been painting since childhood and is a happy go lucky man .

He does art as an extension of himself and believes it does not need an explanation or give out a message; rather it should talk directly to its audience and touch the heart.

Realistic art is his forte and he is known for his commissioned thematic portraits.

He paints figurative and semi abstracts and loves splashes of color and talks to you in a language without words.

Kamal has evolved a distinct style of his own and keeps experimenting with the new. His palette is continuously evolving.

Kamal Devnath, hailing originally from Kolkata, lived and worked in the quaint little town of Saharanpur in Western Uttar Pradesh. His move from Saharanpur to Gurugram a few years back, helped widen his horizons. Kamal carries with him a sense of story and narrative that big, metropolitan cities like Delhi have forgotten or ignored for long.

After taking voluntary retirement from corporate life, he focused on his childhood talent and despite being a self-taught artist, embarked on a journey to paint and exhibit extensively. His first exhibition was held in Dubai and very well received.

He is a self-taught artist which simply means that he has learnt the art of creating paintings with meaning and expressions by experimenting, learning, and creating his own style of working.

He believes that an artwork does not need an explanation. In fact, it should speak and be felt by the viewers and touch their hearts.

Life around is motivation for him, and through his paintings he brings to life nature's invisible form. Kamal has evolved a distinct style and keeps experimenting with the new. Realistic art is his forte. His works are figurative and at times semi-abstracts renditions of the world around.

Being a self-taught artist, he has honed his skills through experimentation.

Realism attracts him and it reflects in his works. Although his realistic, figurative works are evidently of high technical value but it is the compositions that he creates using the figures and juxtaposing them against each other that attract the viewer and hold his gaze.

His credentials include participating in more than 200 group shows and 13 Solo Shows in India and abroad.
