Shanti Dave uses layers of oil and encaustic paint that are sensitively textured to combine calligraphy with expressionist fervour in his artwork. Influenced by Devanagari and Nepalese scripts, his unique calligraphic strokes give the piece an aura of old mystery. Dave's distinctive fusion of visual art and the spirit of the written word is evident in the rich narrative tapestry that he creates in the painting using bold and expressive lines.
