Sandhu SinghAs a young child I was always interested in art. I felt Inspired standing in a museum, but I never had any real opportunities until I arrived in Canada. When I tried watercolours, I fell in love instantly. The watercolour medium is unforgiving and complex. But there is also a softness that creates a mood, which is both powerful and understated at the same time.I tried to capture the essence of the subject using strong tonal values along with bright colours to achieve balance. The act of painting is unpredictable and at the same time exciting. It happens quickly under the brush and transforms itself as I focus. I see life from new perspectives taking on many forms, colors, and shapes. |
My work portrays daily life in busy street scenes, seascapes with haze and mist, and Rural landscapes. Most important to me is to approach my subject in a fearless manner, and use looseness to portray its movement. I am particularly thrilled when my paintings tell a story and a viewer connects with the scene, saying how for them it evokes a memory, a thought, or emotion.
I feel honored to have received numerous awards and to have my work displayed and appreciated in different parts of the world.
