An artist inhabiting the soul of an engineer, Parag Chandiwal has been wielding brushes and pencils since his earliest days, tracing a path from realistic depictions to the realm of abstract expression. This journey allowed him to perceive the world from a distinctive vantage point. To paint with mastery, he believes, one must simultaneously view the subject both subjectively and objectively.

Parag’s portraits defy the pursuit of picture-perfect accuracy, mirroring the imperfections within the human spirit. Drawing inspiration from the pioneering works of Kazimir Malevich, Parag set out to redefine the concept of white on white, challenging the prevailing norms of abstract expressionism. The goal was simple yet profound: to distance the artwork from his own identity, leaving behind only the essential, the elemental.

Welcome to the “Shades Series,” where Parag invites you to join him in the exploration of the boundaries of Minimalism and the depths of human emotion, and to complete these canvases with your own unique perspective.
