Myself
In shadows when I remained, ‘ART’ drew me towards the light of existence and gave a new meaning to my being.
Painting came to me as a medium of expression of emotions that remained untold. Art to me,is a way of living life in harmony with one’s own-self. Creativity pulls me like a magnet towards itself and the passion keeps going, discovering new ends to life. Being an independent soul and a self taught artist, I myself try to capture every moment and freeze time in my paintings.
KRISHNA, is the symbol of love, and love means giving. Radha and Meera, both had an undying love for Krishna, but for both of them love means to let go. Similarly, in today’s day and age, we barely get time to express our love and pain to our beloved.
But, through my paintings I wish to capture every feeling the human mind goes through. I consider myself gifted to have the ability to express through art
" I am in a process of exploring my art in a different way which is again close to my heart ......which gives me energy, power, courage, strength, Victory, Loyalty and Freedom in every sense of the word , mind, body and soul. Though i have been connected to The Divine Krishna since a long time and he has only been my inspiration. It is HE,who is guiding me through this path "
My preferred media are oil and acrylic though I do experiment with other mediums too.
The use of different techniques is prevalent in my work as this simplifies the language of my paintings.

An Insight
Born with an intrinsic talent and creativity, from a small town rourkela in Odissa, Rakhi Baid started her art journey through paintings with varied subjects and themes. She did her research on various techniques and styles. Her open mind and pragmatic outlook as well as experimental approach have resulted into rendering unique artistic standard to the work.
Her work mostly lays emphasis on spirituality and divinity. Her visual language which has been enriched over the years due to keen observation, use of various techniques and styles and artistic expressions has rendered divine look and the relevant sentimental feelings and expressions on the faces of characters. Also, the purity and dignity of eternal love, divinity and spiritual enlightenment have been very well incorporated into her work by showing apt emotions like love, spiritual enlightenment, compassion, togetherness and devotion etc. Various symbolic forms and iconic images in her work aptly display the emotions and divine sentiments of human psychology and the relevant mindscapes very effectively.
In her new series Tiltled as “KrishnAnsh”in which Baid has tried to explore all the horizons of unconditional love and divinity. These paintings are the perception of Radha and Krishna`s reminisces.

" Krishna has two or more forms or images or perception about him –The Calm Inspiration and The Naughty Spoiler. Rakhi Baid's paintings reflect both characters and bring out the yearning of the devotee in all its glory.
Her paintings evoke a sense of mystique, lingering moments of introspection and inspiration, a deep spiritual resting point and a feeling of shunyata - the point where the creator and the created become one. Her use of colors and space makes for an outstanding impact on the connoisseur "
