Harshvardhan Bhilala
Harshvardhan’s artistic journey, Devi Maa does not appear in a fixed form, but as an infinite energy—a boundless power that cannot be confined to a single shape. his art seeks to express her various manifestations, where she symbolizes the same divine femininity in forms like Durga, Kali, or Saraswati. This connection with Devi Maa has evolved since childhood as a deep sense of devotion and reverence, guiding his art through prayers, scriptures, and meditation. In his work, he tries to blend the simplicity and natural essence of tribal and folk art with contemporary techniques. Using bold geometric forms, vibrant colors, and lines, they create textured and layered compositions on canvas and paper through cut-and-paste methods. This style, inspired by traditional symbols, is a unique attempt to portray the vastness of Devi Maa from a fresh perspective.
This mixed approach serves as a bridge between traditional and modern elements, presenting the presence of Devi Maa in a new and powerful form. Each piece is a tribute to the divine feminine—a celebration of her infinity, strength, and beauty, born out of the artist’s own creative experience.

The basic theme of the Yashpal’s work is “Secret of Walls”. His work reflects everyday life and the behavior of people that they perceive in the walls around them. Yashpal has always been chasing the cracks and patterns on walls and other places.
“I still can’t stop observing them because it is a part of my life and vision. I really enjoy looking at them and always try to enhance, adorn and embellish them in their creations. I also feel them come alive in my work. The walls and old broken buildings that I see during the hustle and bustle of everyday life fascinate me as they try to say something. I feel a beautiful and strange experience. These ruins, old buildings, broken and dusty things act as mirrors for my subject matter. The unique and amazing shapes and buildings at these places, where rhythm of music can be heard and felt in the soul are incomparable. Absolutely, walls have ears as well as a tongue. The curiosity to know the depths of my emotions is increasing and I keep trying with success and failure to incorporate this experience, and the dimensions and shapes that have sprouted amaze in my artworks.”
What the artist can’t tell people through conversation or which they don’t have the strength to say, they try to express through their artworks, says Yashpal Singh.
