About the artist
BIO
Amar Singha grew up in a noble family in North Bengal. As a child, he found comfort in drawing with colored pencils and crayons, which helped him cope with the loneliness that often came with his privileged upbringing. His fascination with the royalty around him sparked a desire to explore deeper truths and joys through his art. After attending the Academy of Creative Art in Kolkata, Singha experienced a profound loss when his father passed away during his final year of school. This event prompted him to embark on a spiritual journey and search for meaning in life and death. Singha spent 16 years in seclusion, listening for whispers of truth, and emerged as an artist who translates the untranslatable through his paintings. He now works from his home studio in Raghunathganj.
Statement
A conversation between ancestral Indian lineages and abstract geometrical shapes allows me to express my emotions vividly. The use of color reflects my feelings as I seek to uncover the hidden beauty we often overlook. Color itself becomes a subject that resonates with my sensations.
​
Simplifying the composition produces uncluttered spaces that sometimes create a feeling of boundless joy followed by the expression of colors or sometimes inexplicable sensitivity of the subconscious mind. It also brings a calmness that immerses me deeply in the spiritual realm, followed by the past spiritual experience that makes sense of my creative spirit. A subtle emotional approach transforms my form into an abstraction that is steadily expressed by line drawing. Drawing is a pivotal factor in my painting that helps viewers discern the insides despite the abstract approach of my artwork.
​
Amorphous brush strokes made with acrylic paint add some texture, but ultimately, they create a calming smoothness that I find enjoyable. I then begin to draw lines to add details. Watching the painting uncover the object beneath various abstract shapes brings me joy.
With guidance from an unbroken lineage of ancestors – the master painters of India – I pick up transmissions that my brushes aspire to translate into the present.
I love to express various human emotions in a calming manner, inspired by the spiritual realm. My goal is to create a tranquil atmosphere that refreshes viewers' souls. I aim to gently encourage those who feel lost to reconnect with their inner peace and inspire them to savor the beauty of life and the world around them once again.
