About Ritu Kamath
Born in 1970, Ritu Kamath is a multidisciplinary artist. She received her BFA in Painting and Sculpture from the renowned Jamia Milia Islamia University in 1992 and her Master's in Fine Arts from Gwalior in 2018, but starting in 1986, she spent the early years of her life practicing and harnessing her artistic abilities under the guidance of Shobha Broota and Rameshwar Broota at Triveni Kala Sangam Studios in Delhi.
She expresses her desires on the canvas by reinterpreting the various thoughts that run through her mind daily. It is an assemblage of triggers, tasks, thoughts, dreams, symbols, and interpretations that constantly titillate her mind. To interpret or translate her thoughts, she has relied upon drawing with inks and acrylics on paper and canvas. Her works are multi-layered and detailed.

Exclusive Collections and Best Paintings of Ritu Kamath
Her series, “The Forgiving Mother” centers on Mother Earth, who deliberately, willingly, and gladly decided to forgive her children — the human beings — whether or not they deserve her forgiveness and her tolerance for constantly imposing their needs over her wants and inflicting wounds on her body for their selfish and never-ending greed.
She paints an ode to Mother Nature and her children; the birds, wild animals, and trees. Her paintings focus on how, when the other ‘children; human beings part their greedy and ever-consuming ways, she starts healing and her children start growing. The forests get greener, the flowers blossom in multiple colors, butterflies flap their attractive wings and birds sing songs of freedom.
