Bhaskar Hande was born in 1957 in Umbraj, district
Pune, India.
He lives and works in The Hague, The Netherlands
since 1983. He is a versatile artist.
His ambitions to be busy with verious disciplines
of art, identifies him as the poet, painter,
sculptor and graphic designer. He published
three books of collection of poems in 1990,
1995 and 2001. The project 'Your form is my
creation' is his visual tribute to seventeen
century Bhakti poet 'Tukaram' has become first
in it's kind of Indian history. Hande's
Indianness is not ethnicity worn on the sleeve;
it is the very substance of his cultural
identity in multicultural global community of
artists. Hande has been living many years
in Europe,
his cultural signature has remained the same.
Apart from his development Hande thinks
day to day life, living and working in another
country and culture than where he grew up.
This process gives him creative impulses; every
year he lives a couple of months in India,
vice versa in Europe. He exhibits in India and
in Europe. The change in surrounding keeps
his thoughts constant in process. His works
represent meditative fall of his merging
colours and changing environments. The colours
become brighter , forms are clear than
ever and words are more mysteries.

The concept developed in my mind while travelling
through Europe and India with the project “Show Your
Hope”. What would I do with thousands and thousands
of images taken during the journey? As I pondered
over this idea of ‘A Black Substance’ I read some
Western philosophy. My curiosity and interest grew
in a wide range of subjects. Since I’ve been writing
poems, painting, drawing and sculpting, I realized
that I’ve been a very meditative person all my life.
Actually, I lived my life ignoring some of the facts
and practices involved in modern-day meditation. But
I focused on various subjects that have occupied me
over the years and imaginatively pursued their development.
I found some way of working with images and produced
the visuals that reflect the philosophies I’m concerned
with here.
