National award-winning artist, Bharti Dayal says, "I have represented the country and Madhubani art on various global platforms by amalgamating Hindu mythology and contemporary social, political and philosophical issues of today's day and age. I sit at the forefront of this art form, having won many awards and inspiring today’s generation to take pride in our history and creativity. Using mediums of newspapers, public platforms and social media, I have created and fused the Madhubani art form with contemporary and classical themes. My works have been a token of national pride presented to various presidents and prime ministers of other countries.

"Since my childhood days in Mithila, through all the struggles in redefining and reviving this national art form while raising my two children by myself, I continue to be an asset to Indian art and culture. I have devoted a significant portion of my time to training over 1100 youth in this art form for bringing in continual changes in their work. Due to my unabated devotion, Madhubani paintings have moved across the frontiers of India. Nine international exhibitions held across all 4 continents, exclusively depicting Madhubani paintings, have received huge all-around acclamation. An exhibition of 30 of my rare works has been in Belgium for a year now. More than 30,000 artists of Madhubani art look upon me as their savior and guide. I have taken up their cause and concerns at multiple platforms and levels, fought aggressively and got them resolved.

"Through the fusion of the ancient Madhubani art form and modern times, in my 40-year-long voyage, I have not only revived this art form but ensured that it gets significant recognition and distinct positioning among leading art forms of India. My works traverse a very wide range and are displayed in public and private collections of the rich and famous. They also find a place in the offices of presidents, prime ministers and senior bureaucrats. I have handled any detractors with patience and got them to come around and acknowledge the intense relevance of this art form in bringing together man and nature, addressing social and economic distortions and spreading a message of peace, love and harmony.

"My quest is to assimilate the changing cultural needs and tastes into the very essence of Madhubani paintings and popularize this folk art form and aid the economic development of the folk artisans to keep alive the rich cultural heritage of India. My works are essentially an amalgamation of the ancient Madhubani art form and modem times, without deviating from the core features of the Mithila tradition."
