About the Artist:Born in 1956 in Ludhiana District, Punjab, Sidharth’s creative path has been shaped by his diverse experiences as painter, sculptor, filmmaker, poet, and traveler. Trained in fresco painting, and thangka art under monks in Dharamshala, educated in Chandigarh, and exposed to European artistic currents, his oeuvre synthesizes spiritual insight with a contemporary sensibility.
Drawing from his Sikh upbringing, natural observation, and sustained fieldwork across India and abroad, Sidharth has developed a distinctive idiom rooted in myth, memory, and the rhythms of nature. His works are part of significant public and private collections, and inspire new generations of artists and viewers.
Extract from note by Harmeet Singh Sethi, Aura Art, in the Book:“Sidharth is a myth-maker in the truest sense, not inventing stories, but unearthing them from the quiet folds of memory and the restless currents of his wanderings. His figures are not characters but echoes: remnants of experiences that once passed through him, and chose to stay.”
