Ashwin Sahay

Born in Ranchi in India, as far as I remember, I have always been a painter. I started to paint at the age of 3, I used to depict my dreams. I wanted to illustrate what I could hardly describe with words. I used to have a strange sense of abstractism. As a child of course I had no respect for forms and figures because they were an obstruction to my expression that was itself like an unclear image or sensation which I could only feel. Then, I found a deep connection with colours and strange patterns that I could relate. Each time I touched a red or a blue I thought "Oh yes, it was like that in my dreams." In this singular quest of myself I have every time used a new medium : acrylic, oil,watercolor or pastels, like if I was expecting that every would reveal something new to me. Mostly self taught, I've also studied art in Paris. Inspired by the old masters and many contemporary artists, my art also reflects my deep dedication for opera that I studied in India and France.

Self taught mostly, I have also studied in private studios in France and India.
