Artist of the Week is a special category that recognises and highlights the works of talented artists. New artists are featured each week, showcasing their unique styles, techniques, and themes. From emerging artists to established veterans, the Artist of the Week category celebrates creativity and diversity in the art world and provides a platform for artists to share their vision and voice with a wider audience.
The creative process is a lonely maze that the artist navigates by going within to find inner inspiration and life. Being by oneself isn’t the only meaning of solitude for this creative soul; it’s an intimate relationship with oneself, a dialogue that clarifies the intellect and sparks the boundless potential of the imagination.
Sidhan’s mental process becomes coherent in the stillness of meditation, creating a matrix of concepts and visions. This self-communion turns into the impetus for an artistic voyage, a never-ending labyrinth of mystery. In this maze, Sidhan expresses himself in a way that goes beyond the confines of the objective world through art, which serves as both a medium and his only method of navigating the complexity of life.
For Sidhan, the act of creation is akin to a dialogue with the innermost recesses of his being. Through brushstrokes, colours, and forms, he articulates the language of his soul, offering viewers a glimpse into the sanctuary of his thoughts. The canvas becomes a mirror reflecting the ecstasy that lies in solitude, a celebration of the inherent beauty found in the quietude of self-discovery.
As one delves into Sidhan Kundaikar’s artistic realm, a narrative unfolds—a narrative that invites the audience to embark on their own introspective voyage. Through the language of art, Sidhan extends an invitation to escape the confines of the objective and immerse oneself in the boundless realms of imagination—a sanctuary where the artist finds solace, and the audience discovers the profound beauty of self-exploration
In this artist’s profile, solitude is not a mere backdrop but the very essence that permeates every stroke, every note, and every word. It is the crucible of creation, where the artist discovers the alchemy of transforming solitude into art, and art into a symphony of self-expression that resonates beyond the confines of the tangible world.
