Nashik-based artist, Ashok Dhivare's work, which is currently being exhibited at Thane Kala Bhavan, conveys spiritual and devotional messages through nature.

Dhivare is also a keen observer of human behaviour. So, he fuses the two to depict how the human heart craves for freedom.

"Some of my paintings talk about women and their experiences. My portrayal of Meera has love as the leitmotif," he said. His paintings carry the essence of Sufi thought.

"I always paint whatever I experience. Painting makes me happy and I want to share it with the masses," the artist said.

Dhivare, who works as an art teacher at a school in Nashik, believes that paintings are meant to enlighten people. The exhibition will be on at Thane Kala Bhavan till April 27.
