Redefining Success
with His Art

From the EDITOR
Crafting Excellence on the Canvas
Vision, persistence, creativity, and
excellence- these are a few words
to describe an exceptional artist.
They are passionate and focused on their
craft and do not quit until they bring their
imagination into life. These artists give their
very best into creating a masterpiece. They
take calculated risks with the objective of
creating something fresh, which also
reflects their perspective.
Fear is one of the strongest emotions felt
by humans. Hence, it is right to say that
artists are not completely fearless.
However, they realize that mistakes are a
part of the creative process, and do not shy
away from making them. They realize that
every masterpiece created till date has at
least one flaw. Accordingly, they accept
their imperfections and work towards
improving themselves.
Dedicated artists are strong believers in
themselves. They do not worry about what
others think of them. In fact, they want to
know about what others think of their
work- be it positive or negative. These
exceptional artists take feedback as a
source of inspiration to improve their craft
and do not take any comment personally.
With a focus on delivering their best work,
these always pay attention to their
audience. For them, the audience is equally
important, and their art is not just for
themselves, but for the entire world to
cherish.
Motivation is a key for these dedicated
individuals. They are always driven
towards pushing themselves forward.
These artists realize that perfection in any
art takes time and hence, they do not
expect anything to happen immediately.
They are patient and wait calmly for the
results to come out in due time.
These focused artists are always
motivated to achieve their goals, no
matter how hard they are to accomplish.
Their ambitions are not self-rooted; in
fact, they are cultivated from a love of the
creative process, rather than from selfpromotion.
The foremost artists of the industry act as
a source of inspiration for many individuals
and industries. They are creative and also
believe in embracing traditional and
modern elements to breathe life into their
work.
Hence, in this issue of Insights Success, we
showcase one such dynamic artist, who is
transforming the face of art with his
ingenious skills and astute foresight. To
know more about this esteemed artist,

Ratnadip Barbole
Commercial Artist – Painter

Redefining Success with His Art
An Artist gets Famous
Because of his Wk.
I am
Honest
with My Work,
so I am
Succeeding
Today

There are many mediums and types in painting like,
abstract painting, composition painting, and
realistic painting. Also, there are a lot of great
artists working in this style in India. Great artists like Raja
Ravi Verma, Deusgaonkar, Haldankar, SM Pandit, Baburao
Painter were born in India, and they became immortal
through their artwork. “But I love working in realistic
painting because the artistry is so strong in it,” says
Ratnadip Barbole.
He is a commercial artist (painter), who was fascinated by
their paintings, so he chose this particular style of painting.
Ratnadip has been working in this style for the last 15
years. Portraits, figurative, and landscape paintings fall into
this category. His strengths are the realistic style of
painting.
Ratnadip works with many mediums like watercolor, oil
color, acrylic color, soft pastel, charcoal. Amongst these, he
prefers to work with oil paint mostly. In oil color one can
work on the same painting for a long time and give the
desired result in the painting. He uses brushes thick and
hard in oil color. He also uses linseed oil, turpentine,
Camlin, or Winsor Company’s oil colors.
Before painting, the canvas needs to be stretched in a
wooden frame. But there is a lot of variety in canvases like,
Camlin, Picasso, Fine Art, and Linen. Everyone is using it
at their convenience. Artists also need to be aware of these
mediums. “It doesn't matter what material or color you use;
it matters how effective the work is and how you present it
to the public. I contribute one hundred percent to my work
so people love it more,” states Ratnadip.
An Artist Rising
Art is innate and it is a divine gift. Something similar
happened to Ratnadip when he was in primary school. He
was fascinated by the colorful pictures in the book. Then
the pictures slowly began to descend on the slate-board. He
started showing the pictures to Kamble Sir (an art teacher
near Ratnadip’s house). “He saw the artist in me and started
guiding me to draw in primary school,” informs Ratnadip.
After completing his primary education, Ratnadip went to
Navbharat Vidyalaya in his village for secondary education.
The special thing for him was that the art teacher who was
guiding him, he was teaching painting in that school. In a
real sense, this initiated Ratnadip’s plan in full bloom.
“When I was in 6th standard, there was a taluka level

painting competition at Kurduwadi, in which Kamble Sir
nd
persuaded me to participate. I got 2 award in this
competition. It was very appreciative of that success at our
school,” tells Ratnadip.
It was very inspiring for him. This is where the seeds of his
art career were sown. Kamble Sir worked to strengthen his
foundation in the field of art in secondary education. He
found the artist in Ratnadip and prepared him to take a great
leap in the field of art. “That's why I was able to reach the
international level in this field of art,” shares Ratnadip.
Since he lives in a rural area, the subjects of Ratnadip’s
paintings are based on rural areas. He has grown observing
the rural life, which consists of bullock carts, and animals,
etc. He grew up small and that is why he can present it
effectively on the canvas. His art has a rural essence to it.
“I think a lot while creating any artwork, staring at the
blank canvas for hours. I first draw a raw sketch on the
paper, then finalize it and after that I start to draw it on the
canvas,” explains Ratnadip the process of his painting. His
mind is not at peace until the artwork is completed. He
works without losing his appetite.
The only thing he keeps in mind is that it should feel very
alive and vibrant, that’s how he works. People look at his
artwork and think, did he really take these photos? The
subject chosen for painting, attractive color combination
and its coating, proportional figure are the rules of good art
and Ratnadip makes sure that they are entirely his.
If people like artwork, it becomes famous automatically.
What needs to be done is that the subject must reach
people’s mind, which is on the canvas. The rural part of the
attraction remains fresh in everyone's mind and Ratnadip’s
paintings feel very close to people. “My Indian beauties,
love of sisters, bullock cart, motherhood, literacy, drops of
love are some world-famous works that I have done that
remain subjects of rural area,” claims Ratnadip.

An Artist’s Dilemma
After passing the art diploma, if one wants a job as an art teacher, they have to donate a lot of
money. Being from an underprivileged family, Ratnadip faced a lot of challenges. His father sold
their farm and donated Rs 4 lakh to an ungranted school. Ratnadip became a teacher in that school.
But destiny had other plans for him. The school was shut down after two years and he lost his job.
There was a rumor among the people in his village.
“What was the benefit of selling the land? The son scolded his father. How much torment must
have been inflicted on the mind of a stubborn father? What would have been the state of mind of a
person like me who dared to dream? The society did not have time to think about this. The society
only got a topic to chew on,” shares Ratnadip grievingly. This incident was an inspiration for him
to toss out the gossip and slander of people because he wanted to get rid of the thought that a son
had thrown his father into a pit. “I stubbornly ignited and immersed myself in painting and
continued to achieve success,” adds Ratnadip.
If the family situation is good, then it is easy for anyone to succeed. “However, if the family
situation is poor and if your parents are working on someone else's farm, you have to think a
thousand times before doing any work,” states Ratnadip. That's what happened to him. Ratnadip
wanted to do anything to get his family out of this situation. While searching for a job, he was
cheated of Rs. 3 to 4 lakhs by two people. He was completely disappointed and helpless because
of this incident.

Ratnadip Barbole’s Personal Diary
There have been some incidents in Ratnadip’s life that will bring tears to
anyone's eyes. Read these incidents in his own words:
The biggest shock to my family was that my two-and-a-half-year-old
son, Prajwal, fell ill with jaundice. My family could not bear this shock.
Destiny had shown its cruelty once again. I made Prajwal's grief my
strength and worked hard in art. During this period, I literally worked
twice and made about 17-18 works of art. And I sent my paintings to
exhibitions in the country and abroad. Success is not easy to achieve. I
have endured a lot in my personal life so maybe I am very gentle and
emotional. I speak very little; I don't think I go to the crowd much. I like
quieter and serene places more. My world is within four walls because I
am an artist. It is a pleasure to live near nature and to create new
concepts on canvas.
My definitions for living life are very different from others. I live my
life very simply. I wear a simple kurta and jeans for any big event or
Painting exhibition. I like to live simply. I grew up in a small rural area.

My village is located on the banks of the river Sinai. I grew up seeing that the
natural environment of the village is very good. So, I prefer to live in rural
areas than in cities. My closest companion is music. I always listen to songs
while painting so my mood stays fresh always.
My father studied classical music. I have learnt singing by listening to the
same songs. Along with singing, I have learned to play tabla and flute. This is
my hobby. I have seen a lot of ups and downs in my life. I love doing social
work. I give free guidance to poor and budding children. I use twenty percent
of the money I get from painting all year round for social work. I go to the
orphanage and donate food, distribute books to needy children.
As a social commitment, a child from a poor family in Sultanpur and
Kurduwadi has been adopted for education. For the last 5 years, I have been
spending on the education of these two and will continue to do so. I have been
providing free guidance to new artists through my Prajwal Art Foundation for
the last 4 years. Taking many competitions is driving them. During the
lockdown, I have taken the daily challenge and given 3 awards daily to give
mental support to the artists.

He immersed himself in art. Ratnadip chose his favorite
medium oil color and started working under the guidance of
Kamble sir. After three or four paintings, his own strength
was calculated. Ratnadip made a painting called ‘An Indian
Beauty’. In that painting, a woman was sitting near a tree
with a baby goat in her hand, a pink sari on her body and a
garland in her hair. he sent that painting to an online
competition in London, and he was lucky that it got
selected in the top 30.
This success brought his art career to fruition, and he
decided to work full time in this field. Later, Ratnadip
participated in many national and international exhibitions,
and he was getting a lot of success. Growing in notoriety in
the community, this led to paintings being sold at good
prices, and the struggle he had to go through was actually,
the end of an era for him. It was a new beginning.
prize. It really gave energy to his art career, and it proved
that Ratnadip was worthy to be in this field.
“You don't get publicity and success unless you present
your work effectively to the public. Your work is your
identity, so work with devotion to the arts and you will
definitely get success,” states Ratnadip calmly. There is no
guarantee that the work one does will be sold, and this is a
big challenge for professional artists. One must invest all
their earnings in the painting. Selling a painting costs
money because it depends on various factors. The only way
to do that successfully is to make the work better and more
popular. Then those paintings are easily sold. There are so
many challenges for an artist.
Ratnadeep Barbole emerged as the famous painter. “This is
where my professional art career really began. To date,
there have been over a hundred individual and group
exhibitions. I have received many state, national and
international level art awards,” claims Ratnadip.
The art field is very expensive. Colors, canvases, and other
materials are very expensive. Ratnadip and his family's
situation was very bad, he could not easily buy that material
because his parents worked in the farm and supported the
family. Ratnadip’s friends helped him a lot during this time.
With their help, he brought all the materials and started
working.
It is a great tragedy that senior artists never inform junior
artists about their performances and their share of success.
“That's what happened to me! I wanted to have success in
the art field and get my family out of the struggle. I was
trying to find out by going to different artists, but no one
told me how to fill in and participate in exhibitions,” says
Ratnadip. It is a fact that one artist never accompanies
another artist. The biggest challenge before Ratnadip was
to prove himself in the field of art and travel all alone.
If there is perseverance and confidence in the mind, then the
path will be found, no matter what the field. “I went crazy
and chased it. I started interacting with foreign artists
through social media, I started understanding the art field
from them,” he adds further. Korean painter Tono TP gave
Ratnadip invaluable guidance. He participated in the
competition in Turkey suggested by Tono and won the

Dynamics of Technology with Industry Overview
Currently, there is a lot of competition in the field of art. The number of artists in this field have
increased tremendously. A lot of hobby artists are covering the industry. So, the work of pulling
each other's legs is going on right now. All of this has had a profound effect on the art field. The
organizers of the show have made it a business. “We used to hold an exhibition in a small gallery
and take a lot of fees from the artists and put their works on display,” shares Ratnadip. In such an
exhibition, selling paintings was a long way off. This placed the artist in financial trouble and the
organizers began to fill their pockets with money. The artists remained poor, and the organizer
became rich. The current situation of the artists is so bad that it's been two years since the whole
world was fighting the coronavirus pandemic. During that time, the artists have gone into a lot of
depression because, all the exhibitions were closed, the galleries were closed, the sale of paintings
was closed, which resulted in financial crisis. Art exhibitions are a renaissance for artists. It is
during these conjectures that the appreciation of their artwork comes, from which the new concept
is given impetus. With all the galleries and exhibitions currently closed, new challenges are
looming. It is very important to keep the mental balance stable. “I hope everything will be back
on track soon,” adds Ratnadip in a hopeful tone.
Talking about the technological advancements in the art field, Ratnadip states, “if you want to
reach the corners of the world, there is no better medium like social media.” Ratnadip’s cousin
Prakash Barbole, who is currently working in CBI helped him a lot. He opened Ratnadip’s
Facebook account and started uploading his paintings on it. Gradually, he became Facebook
friends with many great painters from all over the world. Nobody guides anyone. But Tono T P, a
well-known Korean painter, saw the difference in Ratnadip’s paintings and started guiding him
through the comments. It was all in English.
Three or four months went by and one day, Tono Tipi asked Ratnadip to make a painting on Indian
culture and send it to an online international competition in Turkey. “I immediately drew a painting
of an Indian woman sitting and a goat's lap is in his hands. I sent it to Tono and he was so

impressed by the painting that he immediately asked me to
send it to the competition,” shares Ratnadip. He sent the
painting in the competition. His painting was selected in top
30 paintings in worldwide. It was not an easy task to get
such a huge acclaim globally.
Then Prakash and Ratnadip uploaded this success story on
Facebook with a testimonial. The post was seen by Kamble
Sir's daughter in Solapur. She told this news to her husband.
He told this success story to his friend Parashuram Kokne.
He shared Ratnadip's success story almost half a page in the
Sakal News Paper. Besides, Dhairyashil Bhange, a
journalist from Punyanagari News Madha, and Sandeep
Shinde, a journalist from Divya Marathi, gave him good
support. And this became the turning point of his life.
All this was made possible only by social media and other
technologies. Even today, Google and social media, and his
website receives numerous orders for paintings. In the US,
Dubai, and Russia, his work has been sold through the
internet. So, technology and social media have been a boon
for his art career. “If you want to get publicity and sell your
work, it is very important to be able to use this technology.
It’s a boon for artists,” claims Ratnadip.
Advice for the Young and Steps towards the Future
Everybody is emerging with a different outlook and colors.
If art is removed from a person’s life, one can only imagine
how frustrating it can be. It is art that teaches you to look
forward to life, to teach yourself to move forward and to
make a mistake while standing at the same time, who is
reprimanded by the artist. One must learn to use anything,
increase their association with the people related to the
subject, and they will find themselves motivated and able to
cope with any situation.
“Learn to cope with the situation. Read and study new
artists and study them works and try to create new ones.
Increase your observation ability. Try new experiments in
art,” conveys Ratnadip. “Success is not achieved unless we
show our existence in the field of art. Immerse yourself in
this field of art and work hard. Collect artwork and go out
and see how much people will respect your work. But your
work should be of that quality, you have to be impressed by
your own work,” he adds.
Till date, Ratnadip has gained a name and fame by working
hard in the field of art. He does not want to stop there. He
still has a lot of work to do, He wants to do personal art
exhibitions all over the world. Ratnadip also wishes to
pursue a new concept. He wants to learn contemporary art.
“I am studying it, as it is new to me. Since I live in a rural
area, I want to reach out to children in rural areas and guide
them, for which I will always be ready. I want to convince
people that this career can happen in painting,” shares
Ratnadip. In the future, he wants to set up a very big studio
in his village. “From there, I want to guide new artists and
do my personal work, all the while helping my parents who
have worked hard all their lives want to fulfill all of my
dreams. I also want to be there for my wife along with my
son Prajwal,” concludes Ratnadip.
