Artist Kumar Vikas Saxena is presenting his solo show ‘It Makes Me Wonder’ on April 26 at D49, Lower ground Floor at 6 pm.
Saxena’s art mixes dreams with real life. He paints pictures of big buildings like monuments and temples, but also adds modern touches. He wants people to think about how the past, present, and future are connected.
“Artists are always creating something new,” Saxena says. His art is inspired by where he lives and what he sees around him. He likes to remember India’s history in his paintings, but he also wants his art to be for everyone, not just one group of people.
With “It Makes Me Wonder,” Saxena wants to show how great our past was and how hopeful our future can be. He has made 12 paintings for this show, all done with acrylic paint on canvas. He hopes his art will make people think about how humans are all connected across time.
This show is a big deal for Saxena. He’s already had four shows of just his art before this one. His journey as an artist has been like a big, colorful blanket made with lots of hard work and love. He had some personal problems along the way, but people from all over the world have praised his art.
Saxena has been honored by important people like the Princess of Thailand and the Ministry of Culture in China. He feels grateful for the recognition of his art, which has been all about bringing different cultures together. From big art camps to living in different countries to make art, his paintings show how people from all over the world are connected.
As Saxena looks forward to the future, he wants to keep telling stories with his art. Every time he paints, he’s discovering new things about life. His paintings show the beauty and complexity of life with lots of energy and determination.
Saxena, an artist, grew up in Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh, surrounded by art. His father and uncle were painters, so he learned about art from them. He also spent a lot of time in the mountains of Uttarakhand during his childhood, where he developed a deep love for nature. He finds beauty in nature’s rawness and reflects this love in his textured paintings.
