Rehaman Patel, an artist from Kalaburagi, Karnataka, was invited to the Rashtrapati Bhavan's Artist-in-Residence Programme in New Delhi. The programme, which began in 2023, aims to promote Indian art forms and provide artists a platform to work in the presidential estate.
Patel, known for his miniature paintings, participated in the residency and gave a live demonstration of his technique. His work often draws from Mughal and Deccan styles, blending traditional themes with contemporary elements.
The Artist-in-Residence Programme at Rashtrapati Bhavan has hosted several artists from across India, focusing on diverse mediums including painting, sculpture, and crafts. Patel's selection highlights the recognition of regional talent from Karnataka.
