The world of art is like none other... creative, soothing, mesmerizing, therapeutic. Art was in the family for Sanika Dhanorkar. Having spent her childhood in the ancestral home of her great-grandfather Late Shri. L. N. Tasker (ex-principal - Sir J. J. School of Art, Mumbai - 1898-1937), pursuing it with passion came naturally. A Post-Graduate degree in Fine Arts followed, along with a Diploma in Interior Design. Having worked in both the fields this far, she would love to keep painting to glory forever. Realism, Impressionism & occasionally Expressionism are the art styles she largely follows without restricting herself to any particular medium. Oils, Acrylics, Watercolours, Gouache, Charcoal, Pastels are all equally enjoyable mediums that she loves to dabble in. Subjects may vary from landscapes, figuratives, still life, flower paintings, impressionistic compositions etc. She imagines her paintings to be a form of visual pleasure that would bring a smile to the face of the beholder any time of the day.
