He calls a certain genre of his artwork "Quanta Smears." These works “are composed entirely from assemblages/templates of natural/organic elements: flowers, leaves, berries, cones, seashells, stones, mushrooms, grasses, et al.”  Robert Bharda, a previous aaduna contributor, (summer/fall 2015) brings the latest iteration of his work to the spring 2017 anniversary issue.  The artwork is intriguing and influenced by the music of Thelonious Monk, Nina Simone, Pavarotti, Eric Dolphy and other legendary musicians.   Here is a sample of what to expect in the next aaduna issue.

STAY TUNED.   aaduna spring 2017 issue is launching soon!
