Sanjay Devsale paints on the theme of nature and landscapes. He is known for his beautiful creations on the theme of nature, trees, autumn, cherry blossom etc. basically everything that is close to nature.

Born in 1973, Sanjay Devsale grew up in a small village in the Latur district of Maharashtra. Like many other artists who grew up in an environment close to nature, Devsale tries to reimagine and re-establish that primal bond. The impressionist mode is evident in the way Devsale uses light and colour in his landscapes, yet his unique voice also shines through in his signature spacing and background. It’s clear through Sanjay Devsale’s beautiful work that the cliché about mistaking the forest for the trees is itself myopic: sometimes the forest is its trees.

Trees have been a favoured muse of painters worldwide since the 18th century, but Devsale’s depiction still brings in a new, striking perspective. His pointillist landscapes in pop-up colours are detailed, striking, and tactile. Devsale’s play of texture forges an immediate connection, evoking that universal desire to run your fingers across a tree’s warty, gnarled bark. You want to become a part of the forest world of his landscapes, gently treading the banks of snow in some and in others a silent carpet of grass.

Each work is meticulously done in pointillism style – and every coloured dots are done using the brush hair very carefully so that they are consistent across the canvas.

This uniqueness has led him to have a long career in art, with solo exhibitions across India, including at the Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai amongst many others.
