Samruddha Purekar is a painter, researcher, and educator whose art brings together discipline, serenity, and freedom. With a strong foundation in classical draftsmanship, she works primarily in narrative impressionism, blending proportion, balance, and light into works that radiate calm yet hold deep emotional power.
Her practice spans portraits, nudes, landscapes, and the celebrated Peacock Series — each piece reflecting her belief that art is not just about being seen, but about being felt. Her works are meditative in nature, inviting viewers into a space where silence, light, and form speak in harmony.

Alongside her studio practice, Samruddha is a PhD researcher in fine arts, with a focus on the philosophy of values in art and their relevance to contemporary practice. She has authored books, research papers, and catalogues that explore how timeless principles can adapt to modern narratives.
As an art educator, she has guided students in developing not just technical skills but also an understanding of art as a way of seeing and living. Her exhibitions, both solo and collaborative, have showcased her unique ability to unite tradition with innovation, realism with imagination.
In 2014, her work was part of the sold-out exhibition Bold & Beautiful at Jehangir Art Gallery, and in September 2025, she presents new works in the upcoming edition of the same exhibition alongside sculptor Kishor Purekar.
Through her paintings, writing, and teaching, Samruddha Purekar continues to expand the dialogue between art and life — balancing the rigour of discipline with the freedom of expression.
