Sobre el Artista


Manisha Vedpathak is a contemporary artist, Indian by nationality, who currently lives in Ghana, West Africa. Art has been her passion since childhood but it was only after coming to Africa in 1994 , with husband and first child, that she started thinking of developing her artistic abilities. Her images have evolved over the years from realism to abstraction. Now abstracts, semi abstracts, figurative and occasionally nonrepresentational work are her fortes. Her recent series of artworks is a combination of figurative and abstracts. Manisha continues to draw inspiration from a wide variety of sources. She says,"I am inspired by anything and everything in this universe" .Staying in Africa for almost two decades, the bold colors used in her work show the influence of African art.
