Deepali Rhode

Deepali Rhode is an Ealing-based artist working in oils, soft pastels and oil pastels. Her practice centres on light, colour and atmosphere, exploring how everyday scenes can hold warmth, presence and quiet joy. Often described as having a strong sensitivity to colour, Deepali uses layered tones and expressive mark-making to create work that feels both vibrant and grounded. Her landscapes, informed by travel and observation, focus less on precise location and more on mood — capturing shifting light, architectural rhythm and fleeting impressions of place. Rather than documenting scenery, she translates experience into textured, atmospheric compositions.

Alongside her landscapes, Deepali paints still lifes inspired by domestic objects — fruit, vessels and simple arrangements that might otherwise go unnoticed. Through deliberate yet intuitive handling of materials, she brings depth and luminosity to familiar forms, revealing beauty in ordinary moments.

Living and working in Ealing, she continually responds to her surroundings while also drawing on memories of travel. Whether depicting distant landscapes or intimate interiors, her work invites viewers to slow down and reconnect with colour, texture and the small moments that carry unexpected joy.
