Shefali Ranthes art is vivid, colourful, thrilling and awakens the senses with her use of intense textures and generous brush strokes. The 50’s art scene lays ground for Shefali’s paintings. Inspiration is found in the CoBrA and Avant Garde movement, and her paintings are defined by a unique style of semi-abstract, innocent and spontaneous compositions of human- and animal creatures.
