Heartbreakingly intimate and devastatingly emotive, Amogh Patil’s illustration is deftly executed in almost painfully exquisite detail. The care Patil takes to present his subjects is arguably unparalleled—in The Most Important Profession his profound connection to his subject is displayed with great precision, exaltation and stoicism. Photographic detail is clearly paramount in Patil’s work making for almost cinematic compositions; the character and movement comes through still imagery offering the viewer an immersive experience of the complex people of Patil’s home country of India.
Patil lives and works in Belgaum, India, a city in the state of Karnataka near the central coast of western India.
