Biography

Born with an intrinsic talent and creativity, from a small town Rajgangpur in Odissa, Rakhi Baid started her art journey through paintings with varied subjects and themes. Her paintings are a way of expression of untold, withheld feelings. An avid Krishna devotee, Rakhi Baid paints the god regularly using unique composition, yet always employing universally adopted Krishna motifs. Be it traditional or contemperory art – Lord Krishna offers endless inspiration. Being a self taught artist, Rakhi tries to freeze moments in time through her paintings. Her paintings bring out the yearning of the devotee in all its glory, evoking a sense of mystique, lingering moments of introspection and inspiration, a deep spiritual resting point and a feeling of shunyata - the point where the creator and the created become one.

In her excerpts, Rakhi explains, ‘Krishna is the symbol of love and giving. Radha and Meera both loved Krishna dearly but for them both, love meant letting go.’ As an artist, she tries to capture this sentiment in her work, and becomes a storyteller in her own right by basing each painting on a theme that has a deeper meaning. Her use of colors and space makes for an outstanding impact on the connoisseur.

Widely featured by local media, Rakhi Baid is now on her path to becoming a household name in the artist circle. She considers herself blessed to be able to express through her art, and remains indebted to everyone who believes in her work.

Testimonial

Be it Traditional or contemperory art – Lord Krishna offers endless
inspiration .A feverent Krishna devotee, Rakhi Baid paints the god regularly using unique composition,yet always employing universally adopted Krishna motifs. Here, she focuses on Krishna eyes keeping watch over the world and all the elements , a word lit by his own creative energy. Krishna`s birthday is celebrated in this month .A Mumbai based self taught artist,Rakhi Baid is a native of Rourkela ,Odisha
Reader`s Digest

Krishna has two or more forms or images or perception about him –The Calm Inspiration and The Naughty Spoiler. Rakhi Baid's paintings reflect both characters and bring out the yearning of the devotee in all its glory.

Her paintings evoke a sense of mystique, lingering moments of introspection and inspiration, a deep spiritual resting point and a feeling of shunyata - the point where the creator and the created become one. Her use of colors and space makes for an outstanding impact on the connoisseur.
