Bithare's paintings are inspired by nature and its changing colors and forms. He creates landscapes using layers of dots that do not form any specific shape but rather express the fluidity and movement of nature. He uses colors in different ways to achieve a sense of depth and illusion in his paintings. He does not intend to convey any message through his paintings, but rather to feel nature in his own way.
