A Brilliant Photo-Artist,
Mohan Gidwani, Passes Away
Mohan Gidwani, Passes Away
Mohan Gidwani, a
nature photographer with unmatchable aesthetic sense, passed away recently
in Delhi. His demise is a big loss to
the world of photography-art.
Born in 1959 in a
family of century old confectioners of Delhi (India), “Chaina Ram Sindhi
Confectioners”, Mohan Gidwani graduated from Delhi University and engaged in
his family business.
In most of the
cases a person has inclination towards arts since his/her childhood days. The
same was with Mohan Gidwani. He possessed creative bend of mind since his
childhood days. He used to observe the art works of the great masters in the
magazines and during the art exhibitions thoroughly. The images clicked by
them touched his soul and motivated him to step into the realm of art.
Gradually photography became his obsession. Mohan Gidwani was a nature
lover and he preferred to capture the nature at its best. He took photography as
a journey of the soul which accompanies an artist throughout his life. After so
many years of his involvement in creative field, he found photography
not as an art only but an integral part of his life. He used to say that this
art-form was the uttermost medium of expression for him.
Mohan Gidwani loved simplicity in the images, and thus he tried to keep his creations away
from complexity. His nature shots take us into a fantastic world at first
sight.
He had won more
than 400 Awards and Certificates of Merit, and over 1400 acceptances in
International and National photographic Salons.
The India
International Photographic Council had honoured him with prestigious
Associateship Honour and Diamond Grading. A good number of his photographs got published
in reputed magazines and catalogues.
He was a kind
hearted person with helpful nature. He will always be remembered for his
excellent photographs and gracious nature.

ReplyDeleteI do not wish to use oft repeated cliche phrases normally used after somebody departs. But I must say this. I saw late Mr. Gidwani's images (for the first time now) and found that they are sheer poems of beauty. Surely, his sad departure is a big big jolt to the world of art photography. Nature photography is a tough field in which his images show his mastery. Such masters are rare to find.
ReplyDeleteDear Dr. Sharma,
ReplyDeleteSorry to learn the demise of Mr. Gidwani at this age. His pics of natural beauties are really excellent. Let his soul rest in peace.
