IT-professional turned calligraphy artist Rupali Thombare shares the story of her spectacular dot paintings. Inspired by her mentor – the renowned master calligrapher Achyut Palav – Rupali started exploring a shape that attracted her since childhood – the dot. Thombare's work, revolving around the dot, is all about nurturing our inner self, our “soul” – underlining the firm belief that each one of us can realize our full potential by embracing challenges and relying on our inner power.

Learning calligraphy from the master calligrapher Achyut Palav sent IT professional Rupali Thombare on a journey of self-discovery through art. She uses the dot's symbolic ability to portray life's occurrences and connections. Thombare relies on her personal experiences to transform the seemingly basic dot into an effective metaphor for both the mental and physical situations we navigate every single day.

Inspired by organic forms like planets, atoms, and stars, Thombare draws on dots to signify moments that, when they come together, render an expanded view of growth, transition, and self-reflection; and how each stage of life, regardless of how flawed or insufficient, contributes substantially to the deeper path of self-realization.

Thombare’s stimulating exploration of life's profound relationships and personal progress finds symbolic representation through dots; highlighting the beauty in seemingly insignificant moments, and inviting viewers to look beyond superficial appearances.
