Art can truly transcend all kinds of barriers, even between countries. This aspect has been explored by a painting exhibition by 11 Hungarian artists, who have captured the beauty of Nasik city on canvas from their own view.



Organised by the Hungarian Cultural Centre at the Hungarian Information and Cultural Centre, the exhibition showcases the local life of Nasik. "The artists stayed at a 10 day art camp in Nasik last month to make the artworks. The experience of staying in the camp gave them a chance to observe the local life closely," says Seema Moghe, curator of the show and director of The Art Indulge Foundation.

The ongoing exhibition has paintings done in a palette of bright red, blue, green and orange, giving a vibrant Indian feel to the artworks. "As we walked around the villages, I found the graffiti art on walls very interesting, I have captured it in my painting called Indian Impression," says Frank, a veterinarian doctor and artist from Hungary.



Sculpture Garden

Another interesting project is taking place at the lawns of the Hungarian Cultural Centre, where they are displaying 100 sculptures by 25 artists from all over India this month as part of the Delhi International Arts festival.
