Emma Pathare
about
Emma Pathare is a painter working in oils. Her main focus is portraiture and her delight in this art form comes from the shapes and colours found in the human face, and the ever-changing relationship between picture, subject and viewer.
Her work has won prizes in group exhibitions in Dubai, been exhibited in London as part of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters Annual Exhibition and progressed to the second round of judging in the BP Portrait Award in the UK.
Emma’s artistic emergence has been a journey inspired by the brilliant artists she has encountered along the way. She paints for the love of it and for private commissions.
Emma has recently returned to the UK after 25 years away, first in Barcelona and then Dubai.
