Sangeeta Abhay

Sangeeta Abhay, an artist from the culturally rich town of Buldana, Maharashtra, has devoted her artistic journey to the life and teachings of Gautam Buddha. Graduating from the Government College of Art, Aurangabad, she embarked on a successful advertising career in Bangalore but felt a deep-seated desire to convey Buddha's wisdom through art. Her first solo exhibition in 2008 marked her artistic debut, and since then, she has showcased her work across India, the US, and Indonesia, earning acclaim at the Florence Biennale XII in 2019.

Sangeeta's art intricately explores various facets of Buddha's life and teachings, often drawing inspiration from the sacred Bodhi Tree. Her distinctive style combines complex techniques with breathtaking detailing, featuring gold leaf in her oil paintings and sculpting with diverse materials. Her art has earned accolades from luminaries like the Dalai Lama, Gulzar, Shyam Benegal, and Dr. Pushpa Dravid. Sangeeta Abhay's dedication to her quest continues to offer a timeless glimpse into the mystique of Lord Buddha's world.
