Harshada Khare is an Indian artist born and raised in Mumbai, India. She is currently based in Hong Kong, where she has lived for more than six years.

From a background in Technology, Harshada has worked for some early-stage IT ventures in India & Hong Kong. Harshada has always found herself an art fanatic, whether dancing during childhood or some rare drawing & sketching during her school days.

She discovered her talent for painting after moving to Hong Kong while walking around the city after work. Hong Kong is a fascinating city. She realised it is culturally so much different from Mumbai. The town has unique street art – beautiful designs, catchy colours, and sometimes whimsical designs. This was that one significant shift of her life when she strongly sensed she needed to bring her lost interest back to life.

She started exploring painting classes in Hong Kong and came across a young & talented artist from New York. It was expensive, but the mere thought of painting on canvas was new and attractive. Harshada then trained under the professional guidance of this artist, who owns one of the renowned art studios in Hong Kong. Painting under the studio lights with soft instrumental music in the background seemed a therapy. Initially, it was more of a new experience painting on canvases, then much of a stress buster amidst a busy & fast-paced city like Hong Kong, until it became a need and a passion.

Harshada loves travelling & exploring new places and cities. Exploring different countries always has something unique to offer that keeps touching her artistic instincts, and this exploration became a source of her inspiration.

Her artwork today is a collection of abstract, landscape, cityscape and mostly freestyle acrylic and oil work. Harshada does not believe in keeping one’s imagination bound to any specific style or focus. For her, it reflects her life experiences through vivid colours, uneven brush strokes, textures, and patterns.

Harshada thrives on expressing her feelings and experiences to the world through her canvas.
