Maybe Sal D’sa can help. The Bandra resident hosts annual art exhibitions, where he offers reproductions of masterpieces so that all of us can own a slice of art

Artist Sal D’sa creates detailed reproductions of famous paintings, to give everyone a chance to own art pieces
On the bedroom wall of Sal D’sa’s Bandra residence hangs a scene frozen in time—a group of people playing cards. At first, we think it is a photograph. It is only on closer inspection that we see the intricate colour work and realise that it’s an oil painting. “It took me four and a half months to paint this one,” D’sa tells us. “I needed time to capture the details in it—the faces, the expressions, down to the toes.”
While this one is D’sa’s personal favourite, his house is full of artworks in gilt-edged frames, most of them lining the white walls of the living room, which also, doubles up as an exhibition centre for his annual art soiree. While the soiree is scheduled for October 29, the home resembles a miniature art gallery all year round.
