Nail art
‘Nail painter’ Kamal Bhatt
What do fingernails and art have in common? Nothing, you say? Well, Kamal Bhatt from Gujarat begs to differ.
A ‘nail painter,’ he creates works of art with the nails on his thumb and middle finger. “Those nails are grown extra long and are looked after with extra care,” says Kamal with a grin.
According to Kamal, he uses his nails to trace free-hand images from his mind on white drawing sheet. Once the design has been etched on to paper, “it is ready for colouring.” The design is then rubbed on the various colours spread on cloth.
“The colours made out of ‘oil mix wax colour’ will blend and lend the image a muted effect,” says Kamal.
“Each piece is unique as no two works are similar. I am not a trained artist so whatever I draw comes from my heart and mind.” His creations are available as greeting cards and as paintings at the on going Gujarati exhibition.
