Pinky Jaydip Bhatt, is a Limca Book record holder. She has created the longest painting "collage of celebrated women" -some 130 feet - in which she has depicted the 'woman condition'. It has images of women showing their hopes,struggles, achievements and problems.

Pinky Bhatt appears to be a born artist. She has had no formal education, no guru. How did she do it? First, by seeing and observing, and then drawing out her own creative powers from within. It is remarkable that she picked up the art language herself and worked on it for well over a decade.

Her concerns are mainly centered on women. Most of the paintings have bright colors. Pinky’s women are not sad or morose. They appear to take on life in their stride, look upon it with equanimity. A positive, optimistic attitude emanates from the paintings.That is one of the attractions of the artist’s creations. In quite a few paintings, she shows the whole by painting only a part.

In all the paintings, we see movement. The women have no time to dream, sit around. They are on the move doing things. They are not mere decorations; they have purposeful, meaningful aims. None displays her charms; there is no eroticism – but only a robust, feminine Presence. The exhibition of painting is aptly titled “Stree Shakti”. We see ample evidence of it in the paintings.
