Gurdish Singh

Artist Gurdish Pannu was born and brought up in Punjab state of India. From the very beginning he was attracted towards the world of art just like a moth gets attracted towards the light. His initial education was completed in Ludhiana itself and then he moved to Chandigarh in order to complete his graduation in Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from Govt. College of Art. He is a nature lover and a figurative artist who loves to paint in acrylic colors, oil colors and water colors. He gets inspiration from the works of great masters like Pablo Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh, Georges Braque, Michelangelo and Paul Cezanne. His first love is to visit as many places as possible around the world and reflect the different shades of our beloved nature in his artworks. His emotions are thoroughly exhibited through each and every one of his paintings. He believes it may take hours or even years to present a thought upon the canvas and sometimes it takes only a few seconds to do the job. He always tries to keep up with the modern world and its changing dynamics. Recently, he's been working with the acrylic colors using knife as his main tool and developing a mixture of surrealism and abstract art pieces.
