While looking at his paintings you realize, the warmth of the quilt elaborates tender illusion… and intermingling of colours along with the past memories, are the features of his paintings.
Rhythmic shapes and figures and splendid interwoven colours, denoting the past are the features of a quilt that entangled our mind with golden memories.

Ramchandra beautifully blossoms these quilt in the contemporary form and makes it perpetual on the canvas with the same warmth and memories, When we look at his paintings, they eternally influence us! These beautifully blossoming quilt in the traditionally retained form and yet contemporary, is the content of Ramchandra’s paintings.
