Minal Rajurkar
I have completed my Ph. D. degree (fine art) from RTMU, Nagpur in 2016. From last ten years, I have been working with various mediums. I paint in a semi realistic style and use subjects such as animals, humans and animal/human hybrids against my favoured vivid background colours. I observe people around and their behaviour, as it is my daily experience. And this different human behaviour helps me to co-relate with my thoughts about society and its current social situation.
