Portraying the Cultural Feel of
India
Sanjeev Kumar
Art enables the artist to experience the eternal bliss
ever fragrant in his own consciousness. Time and space strengthen his sincere
efforts to see the divine in mundane aspects of life. His aspirations are the
light of love in the society. India is that
sacred land where each grain of sand reflects the rare hues of human
aspirations to embrace the Eternal Truth ever fragrant in the human
consciousness.
Sanjeev Kumar (Chandigarh), a versatile artist, has
been blessed with a rare zeal and zest to search the forms of the Formless Love
that is fragrant in our art and culture.
His pictures are the fine examples of art and portray the
life in India in extremely creative way.
Although he loves photographing all aspects of life, he
has deep special fascination for the land of Lord Krishna, the Brij region of
India. Every year before the Holi festival, his urge becomes his vehicle
and carries him to Barsana, the land where people still go in frenzy after
tasting the drop of that love which rained here during various aspects of
Raslila...
Lathmar Holi festivities which nourish the creative urge
of Sanjeev Kumar have been associated with a Hindu legend related to
Lord Krishna and Radha. Like a saint he participates in these celebrations and
God fills his begging bowl (Camera) with the most precious jewels of Indian
culture.
Sanjeev’s tryst with materials, be it a camera or the
canvas and brush, takes him to those realms of human consciousness where
self gets idealized into the universal self automatically.
Winners of many prestigious honours, Sanjeev feels that
the frantic moments of melting into the forms he aspires for, is always his
most cherished award.
