About her...
Artist Bharti Verma completed her MFA (Painting) in 2012 from the Delhi College of Art. She works with pen on canvas and plays with the concept of depth and illusion through her paintings. She sketches spaces like a home or a building on her canvases and uses her lines such that they render a 3D effect to the paintings. She however, also uses one 3D object on each canvas thus adding a touch of reality to her works. Her works start at R28,000.
