Untitled | Bhaskar Rao | 36 x 36 inches | Acrylic on canvas

Bhaskar's artistic journey is deeply rooted in his connection to nature, with the image of the tree serving as a recurring and powerful symbol throughout his body of work. His landscapes are not mere visual representations; they are imbued with personal memories and sensory experiences gathered from the places he has lived and explored. While his early works explored vast landscapes with elements like land, water, and sky, it is the form of the tree that has evolved into the central theme of his art.
 
In vibrant colors or monochromatic tones, Bhaskar's trees stand as guardians of the earth, reflecting both their cultural significance and the urgent need to protect our environment. For Bhaskar, trees represent a deep connection between people and nature in Indian tradition, symbolizing worship, auspiciousness, and the sacred role they play in our lives. His works are a reminder of the environmental destruction we face and his personal, lifelong bond with the natural world.
 
As an artist, Bhaskar's vision extends beyond the canvas to inspire awareness about the essential relationship between humans and nature, using "The Tree" as a powerful motif to convey both ecological and cultural narratives.
