Rini Dhumal

Rini Dhumal subjects are invariably women, like the mixed media on canvas “Queen”, or the depiction of the awesome Hindu Goddess Durga in the same medium; these memory-ripened, inward looking images appear deeply personal and lend an emotional climate of introspection. Then there are the bold use of fantasy and imagination, as in “Creature”. Rini’s women are usually center-stage and flanked by strange looking cats or birds, or dramatic flowers and assorted plumage. For Rini’s audience, her paintings succeed in opening a door to less bleak image of art, and life itself. 
Born 1948 in Bengal, Rini completed her Master’s in Painting from M.S.University, Baroda.
