One of the singular inspirations of artist Sagar Vasant Kamble’s artistic life points to art taking the personal and turning it around in such a way so that it reveals the universal. “Art to me is a depiction of my interpretation of things,” says Kamble, born in a farmer’s family at a village in district Kolhapur, Maharashtra. “My work is inspired by my background in farming and the rural community I live and work in,” says the Mumbai-based artist, who came into the national limelight when he won the Lalit Kala Akademi Award, 2020.
