Dr Ratnakar as I found, is a promising painter and an organizer of great capabilities. I found in him an intricate observer delving with his innate concerns for the locale where, people, nature and even myth become a source of reverie to him. Dr. Ratnakar in his works seems to be welded to the imaginary camera as if observing the world around as a photo – realist. Here he seems to be transforming his inner metaphysical world and the syntax for a transcription of the visual world into form. In nut-shell, this artist has opened up all the chapters of his inner world exposing clues, the world-view of the artist in him. P.N. Choyal Eminent artist, Udaipur, Rajasthan

I am very much touched by the selection of simple subjects and the artists ability to bring out the expressions in such a way that even a common man can understand. It is a marvelous expression of artist's thought process on a common theme. Padmashree Dr. Lalji Singh Director, CCMB, Hyderabad AP

Ratnakar's paintings and drawings are free from western art influences and deliberately ignore so called Indian urban sensibilities. But they are still very much contemporary. They are the true representatives of rural India. Ratnakar has deep understanding of socio-economic, socio-cultural and socio-political conflicts of north Indian states and this knowledge reflects in his works and often strengthens it. His bold and powerful lines make his work distinctive and his bright colors make them inspiring. Vinod Verma Producer, BBC WORLD SERVICE

With artists abounding in numbers, standing out from the crowd is a major challenge. Some get the right hit, managing virtue of their talent and sheer originality. Dr. Lal Ratnakar undoubtedly belongs to this category. His paintings are a poignant reflection of the multy-ferious—and very often neglected—facets of rural life. The PIONEER, June, 22, 2001

Dr. Lal Ratnakar has greatly been influenced by the works of Munshi Premchand. And just like the great litterateur ,he looks at rural India while choosing the subject of his paintings. THE TIMES OF INDIA, March 15,2007
