Life of Jesus Painting

Sandip Pandya is an Indian Contemporary, Modern artist. He grew up in the heritage city of ahmedabad in Gujarat India. Over the last 20 years has travelled and painted extensively in the U.S. and India. Sourcing inspiration from within, he dives into his contemporary, modern world, articulating his adventures with undulating colors, shapes and patterns. A studio based artist, he works primarily with oil on canvas and metal in which his labor-intensive and intuitive process produce brightly colored, sometimes tactile paintings that can also be sculptural. Oils prepared studiously before their application, by combining a number of paints, are carefully applied in a practice governed by abstract rules and introspective negotiations. Avoiding prior digital sketches, Sandip relies on quick decisions and instinct. The process is a balance between physical motor skills and mental power, in which the brush becoming more than a tool, is an extension of his body that is intuitively guided by the beat of his heart, as well as the quiet melody in his head.
