Rough Sketches

Artists are a unique breed of people. They see the world differently, and their minds process what they observe in their own distinctive ways. When we look at a painting, we can only guess what the artist might be trying to communicate. We rarely get the opportunity to peer into the artist’s inner world and understand the thought processes behind the work.

These rough sketches by renowned artist Subhash Awchat offer us precisely that rare opportunity. His writing effortlessly embraces a wide range of subjects: people he has encountered in life and their distinctive qualities, his own paintings and the ideas behind them, the creative process, artists from around the world and their perspectives, and the many emotions and feelings that occupy the human mind.

As spontaneous and illuminating as his paintings, Awchat’s writing offers readers an intimate glimpse into the mind of an artist and the ideas that shape his creative world.
