Paresh Nrshinga, United Kingdom

Paresh Nrshinga is a London based artist who has been producing artwork and exhibiting since 2000s. Originally recognised for his intricate pencil portraits, the artist has shifted his focus to producing paintings that go beyond representing reality. Motivated by a combination of spontaneous brushwork, playful drips and flirting with fluid boundaries, he presents audience with a transitional space that encapsulates something that is constantly evolving and capturing the attention of the viewer. Nrshinga’s continuous fascination with art, colour, shape, form, and music would open more possibilities and lead him to new heights of creativity and expression. His unwavering passion for these artistic elements would likely fuel his journey toward exploring innovative techniques, pushing boundaries, and ultimately, achieving greater artistic mastery. During the early stages of his artistic career, he was primarily influenced by Jackson Pollock's use of drips and spontaneity, Andy Warhol's unconventional thinking, and Mark Rothko's emphasis on structure and colour. He followed his passion and graduated with BA (Hons) from De Monftort University in Leicester. Throughout his 20s, Nrshinga continued to develop his artistic skills whilst also pursuing a path of self discovery, taking few years to learn ancient Sanskrit texts and wisdom behind it. The methods and techniques he learnt during those fundamental years would later allow him to bring his spirituality into his creative processes, accessing inner emotions and transferring them onto canvas, almost making creating art a spiritual process and thus to be able to connect with a viewer on deeper levels. Nrshinga about his art: Colour is the essence of beauty and energy that permeates our world. It has the remarkable ability to evoke emotions and stir deep feelings within us. I have always been captivated by the interplay of colour and shape. When these two elements converge, the possibilities for creating art become boundless. For me personally, however, painting transcends the mere combination of colour and shape. It is a process that begins with an emotion or feeling, which then spills out onto the canvas. Some of my paintings emerge from spontaneous impulses, where my inner emotions take control and guide my paintbrush. They become raw expressions of my inner self. Other artworks are journeys of exploration, even surprising me with their unfolding pathways. Through my paintings, I strive to convey my own perspective of the world and create an emotional connection with the viewer. I aspire to capture fleeting moments and freeze them in time on the canvas, inviting others to share in the experience. Painting allows me to communicate beyond words, to communicate in the language of colours, shapes, and emotions. It is a profound and intimate means of expression, enabling me to convey the depth of my perception and invite others to join me on this artistic journey. Nrshinga works in fluid media that allows him to explore unlimited possibilities and create unique and sensual art pieces. Quite often whilst viewing his work, it awakens instant and deep reaction and emotion from a spectator always leaving them wanting more. Nrshinga has exhibited prolifically in solo and group shows at galleries and shows spanning United Kingdom, United States, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Australia. His paintings are featured in numerous private and corporate collections in The United Kingdom and internationally.
