Amit Dilip Dhaware
Virtuoso | Art Instructor | Visual Artist | Art Writer

With over eight years of experience in the field of art education and creative practice, I am deeply passionate about both making art and mentoring aspiring artists. My journey in visual arts began with formal training at the School of Art, Azam Campus, Pune, where I completed diplomas in Drawing and Painting as well as Art Teaching. Since 2016, I’ve worked as an instructor at The Renaissance Design Studio in Pune, where I taught drawing, painting, printmaking, 2D design, creative ideation, and entrance exam preparation for premier institutes like NIFT, NID, and CEED.

As an educator, I designed foundational drawing syllabi, set entrance test papers, and organized three consecutive annual student exhibitions—from curating student work and designing display structures to coordinating logistics and marketing. I find great joy in identifying and nurturing artistic talent, helping students gain admission to prestigious institutions and kickstart their creative careers.

My personal practice spans graphite, colored pencil, pastels, acrylics, watercolor, and oil painting, with a particular love for conceptual and visual storytelling. I have been part of numerous group and solo exhibitions at venues like Balgandharv Kala Dalan and Jyotsna Bhole Sabhagruha, Pune. I have also been selected for state and national-level art exhibitions and international online art shows, receiving honorable mentions and awards, including recognition by EarthDay.org and Dakkhan Kalamanch.

As an art writer, I have contributed reflective essays and articles on visual culture and aesthetics, including award-winning work in Marathi featured on platforms like "Chitra Sanwad."

In every aspect of my work—be it painting, teaching, or writing—I strive to create meaning and connection through visual expression. I am currently seeking opportunities in full-time or part-time teaching roles where I can continue to grow as an artist-educator while inspiring others.
