Spiritually inspired stories told through vibrant brushstrokes
Ashok Rathod’s art is a powerful expression of the inner self, deeply influenced by Indian mythology, rural life, and spiritual narratives. His work bridges the gap between the figurative and abstract, using rich color palettes, symbolic elements, and detailed patterns to communicate stories that are both personal and universal. Born and raised in Gujarat, Ashok’s early exposure to tribal art and cultural symbolism continues to inform his evolving visual language.
Each canvas becomes a meditative space—his figures are serene, his symbols intentional, and his textures full of movement. His subjects often seem in dialogue with nature, the divine, or the self—portraying a moment of stillness amidst the chaos of life.
Ashok’s works have been exhibited in various cities across India, earning appreciation for their rootedness and depth.
He chose to collaborate with Chandigarh Art Gallery because of its unique positioning in bringing traditional narratives into a contemporary context. For Ashok, the gallery’s inclusive and culturally nuanced platform felt like the right space to share his stories with a wider audience seeking meaning in visual art.
