Shree Mehta is a nature-inspired contemporary artist and the founder of ShreeArt. His work is distinguished by two highly unusual artistic practices: Leaf Paintings - acrylic painting on real dried Peepal tree leaves and his self-invented technique of Nail Painting. Deeply influenced by nature and traditional craftsmanship, Shree experiments with natural elements to create artworks that combine texture, form, and imagination. In his leaf paintings, naturally fallen Peepal (Ficus religiosa) leaves are carefully cleaned, treated, and pressed to strengthen their delicate structure before being transformed into an organic canvas. Acrylic paint is applied directly onto the leaf without preliminary sketches, allowing the natural veins and textures of the leaf to interact with the painted imagery. The resulting artworks celebrate both the fragility and resilience of nature while creating visually rich and tactile compositions. Shree’s second distinctive technique, Nail Paintings, is an uncommon and self-developed art form. Instead of using brushes, he engraves and shapes imagery using the nail of his thumb on handmade paper, later enhancing the embossed forms with wax-based powder pigments. This labor-intensive method produces striking textured surfaces and abstract visual narratives inspired by human emotions, spiritual themes, and elements from nature. Through these two contrasting yet complementary techniques, Shree’s work reflects patience, experimentation, and a deep respect for natural materials and handcrafted artistic traditions....porta.
