Rameshwar Broota feels it is important that an artist does not behave like an automated machine but creates only when he is inspired to.
CERTAIN stillness engulfs his works. One is forced to look at beyond technique for they reflect upon diverse situations that degenerate relationships between humans.

Take for example his early works in which he lays bare the streets of Delhi and showcases labourers in their undernourished and stark avatars as poverty runs amok. “I faced a lot of struggle in my initial years, something which had to reflect in my creations of that time,” says this Delhi-based 74-year-old artist who was in Chandigarh in September on the invitation of Chandigarh Lalit Kala Akademi.
