A unique art exhibition held at the Indo French Cultural Centre | Tech Reddy

Be it an expression of thought or an opinion on society and issues arising in the country and the world, painting is a very powerful medium to convey your vision to people and influence them. Yet, when it takes a shape, every message associated with it is imprinted forever in the minds of every special-and-man who sees the painting.

A similar painting exhibition was organized at the Indo-French Cultural Center in New Delhi. Well Done Art Academy and Maharaja Academy of Fine Art and Craft jointly organized the exhibition. The specialty of this exhibition is that all the paintings in it are created by children. Each painting is special in itself, which contains hundreds of expressions inside the painting.

This painting exhibition is being organized for the last 11 years. Former Union Minister and former BJP President Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi, Ambassador Deepak Bohra and Dr. Jitendra Nagpal inaugurated the art exhibition by lighting the lamp.

Murali Manohar Joshi was greatly influenced by children’s paintings. He admires each painting and notices the expressions expressed by the children on the canvas.

In the art programme, 125 children were honored with the distribution of trophies for their paintings. Children are also very happy to have their art appreciated.

DPS (East of Kailash, Delhi) student Kaushal Saadiyant’s admirable painting was much appreciated by those present at the function and to Kaushal’s delight, the painting was sold for Rs 1.5 lakh.

These images prove that if these children’s skills are sharpened they can create their own identity not only in the country but also in the world.
