Sachin Upadhye

My paintings and I, use each other to express ourselves….with colors borrowed from life. I paint with generous use of thick bold colors using palette knife, trying to hold myself in front of a lifeless blank canvas.

Every painting of mine is a part of me, may be in some capacity, and what I paint depends on the state of mind I am in at that particular moment. The painting, the colors or even a stroke cannot be recreated once that moment is passed. Hence the painting should express the artist more than the objects he uses to convey the mood he is in. Its never planned, intentional or mechanical ……its spontaneous, instinctive and most of the times an emotional outburst which works as a de-stressing process. It can be a communicable medium if you can connect with a painting.
