Prakash Papnai (b. 5 September 1984, Ranikhet, Uttarakhand) is a Contemporary Indian Artist whose art transcends geographical and cultural boundaries, expressing human emotions, the silence of nature, and the meditative rhythm of life.
Matrika Art Gallery proudly presents his journey - from the quiet valleys of Ranikhet to national and international platforms, where his works have deeply resonated with audiences across cultures.
Prakash Papnai primarily works in watercolour, acrylic, and mixed media techniques. His practice often reflects chakra-based creative meditation, and at times, the very soul of society. In his paintings, silence transforms into colour, memories take form, and nature becomes narrative.
For him, art is not tied to a place, but is rather the language of consciousness - a bridge between the soul and the infinite. His major series - Hill Series, Phenomena (Social Series), Inner Voyage, Fourth Horizon, Sanskritik Naad - embody this vision and artistic philosophy.
