Journey 6 by Dharmendra Sahani

Dharmendra Sahani is a contemporary artist whose work is deeply rooted in his personal experiences, blending realism with experimental techniques. Originally from a rural background, he has since transitioned to city life, yet his deep connection to village life continues to shape his artistic practice.

Growing up in a middle-class family and working alongside laborers from an early age, Sahani incorporates objects, figures, and daily life narratives into his paintings. His father’s work as a house painter introduced him to textures, layering techniques, and an intuitive understanding of color, elements that now define his artistic approach. His preferred palette—blue, brown, grey, and yellow ochre—evokes a sense of nostalgia, memory, and the passage of time.

Sahani’s paintings often depict blurred recollections of the past, reflecting fleeting moments and personal histories that resonate on a universal level. His work balances realism with contemporary experimentation, showcasing a unique visual language that bridges tradition and modernity.

Beyond his artistic practice, Sahani is known for his enthusiasm, strong work ethic, and collaborative spirit. A self-starter, he is deeply committed to his craft and embraces opportunities for growth and artistic evolution. He remains eager for transformative experiences that will shape his journey, ensuring his work continues to evolve while staying true to his origins.
