Prabin Badhia

Prabin Badhia is a Berkeley-based figurative painter with a rich artistic journey that stretches from the studios of India to galleries across the globe. Trained with a BFA from Berhampur University and a Master's in History of Art from the National Museum in New Delhi, Prabin brings deep knowledge and genuine passion to every canvas. His work -- painted in oils, watercolor, and charcoal -- celebrates the human form in all its grace and energy, from the curve of a shoulder to the twist of a torso, rendered with bold, luscious strokes that feel alive.What makes Prabin's art so refreshing is its pure, open spirit. His figures carry no political agenda or social commentary -- they simply exist, free from time and context, inviting you to experience form and movement for their own beautiful sake. Since settling in the Bay Area in 1999, he has become a beloved member of the 4th Street Studio community in Berkeley, exhibiting widely from California to Paris, Tunisia, Turkey, and Italy, with collectors around the world proudly calling his pieces their own. Prabin is the kind of artist who makes you see the human body -- and the world -- a little differently!
