I'm Vivek Vadkar, a fine artist from Karjat, Maharashtra, India. My journey with painting began in childhood, evolving from a deep passion into my full-time profession and livelihood for the past 18 years. Over these 18 years, I've had the privilege of showcasing my art in numerous successful group and solo exhibitions, both nationally and internationally. The overwhelming response to my work, coupled with my achievements in various national and international art competitions, has allowed me to build a strong clientele, reaching art lovers locally and globally. My path, from a small village to establishing myself as an artist, has been marked by significant challenges, including a lack of basic facilities and the societal perception that art wasn't a viable livelihood. Yet, it's my unconditional love and unwavering devotion to painting that have empowered me to conquer these difficulties. I truly believe in the power and message of my art.
