Deepali Sarde is an artist who focuses on the idea of womanhood in her painted canvases. She portrays the innocence of a little girl, the elegance of a sensuous woman, the poise of a thoughtful lady, and a sentimental bride in her work. Her paintings use a bright color range and bold, partially minimal compositions, with meticulous portraits created using a technique of cross-hatching. The characters in her paintings express diverse aspects of femininity and aim to convey joy, happiness, and progress. She often incorporates butterflies in her work, symbolizing transformation, and utilizes circular compositions to highlight their interactions with flowers. Noteworthy are two paintings depicting a dark-skinned woman alongside iconic images from Indian miniatures, which induce a sense of longing for affection. Another significant painting juxtaposes the frontal face of a girl with an iconic image of the goddess Lakshmi, offering a unique critique on the treatment of the girl child in society.
