About my artwork

I started with Black Ink on paper & Watercolour Medium. I like to paint Figurative, Abstract Forms and Landscape in my styles. My areas of thoughts are very vast which I try to portrait in my paintings and poems. Now I am using acrylic and oil paints on canvas, where I can express my feelings and desire in the forms of colour, which gives me freedom to show my emotions. My sketches are about the feelings and relations, which have no particular shape. Its forms exude lightness that balances its movement on canvas. There is a deliberate move away from the use of substantial colours, pen and ink, layers and textures to further underscore the notion of the space. There is great tranquility about these images which are clear records of emotions.

Artists I like

By Sonam Agrawal

PORTRAYS A SERIES ON FEELINGS AND RELATIONS

Aditya Dev Sharma portrays a series on feelings and relations having contour of men and women. The raw and tender emotions in his documentary images waxing alive his canvases in reality compel us to feel such ecstasy in ourselves. The sentimental affection, which weaves emotions in human beings for difficult moments, epitomizes in his figurative and abstract forms.

He sometime paints beautiful sky in nature touching a state of intensified and heightened feelings or sometime he portrays pastoral rites of passages in empathy pictures which calls to mind a sublime balancing act. His sedutive and enticing bliss takes us into a comfortable realm.

The self-taught artist sketches his characters in such a whimsical position looking perfectly mingled with each other and it emerges an array of thoughts putting a new dress-up around the characters. His infinite permutations of images bring forth a unheard sequences of emotions and delight.

Aditya Sharma's brush strokes render the reality into incredible making us realize his achievement on human emotions and feelings and create a similar effect without taking benefit of any developed technology to point out a new way of paint. The various tones of colours brushing layers on layers evoke a thick stroke that is his spontaneity.

Interests

By V. Vinita

WITH TOTAL COMMITMENT

Aditya's desire of passion make a complete circle, full of sensuous, as well as spiritual. In his work there is some hidden forms and some where clear images, the vibrant colour which keep the flame burning in the eyes. Behind this fire there is a consistent motive with total commitment.

His paintings are elegantly artistic which one is not to be perceived by eye alone, but has to be felt with all our five senses.

Aditya's drawings delved into incentive to show human relations and associated motions, which create deeper & more perspicuous meaning. In his drawing through mystical, dynamic lines there is a continuous search for negative to positive portion of life, which makes balanced & proportionate picture in some of the abstract composition, various tones in different levels evokes our senses.

In his latest work he is inspired by human behavior and his environment. He trying to profundity the philosophy of mankind about his desire, dream, devotion and dedication. He is due to inspired by nature, he believes that "Nature has everything in her lap, you can only feel it by go through its internal & external depth ".

"Prakriti and Purush" their love and attraction for each other signifying their positive outlook for universe.

The way he play with colour shows that he is innocent and at the same he old enough to go beyond boundaries.

Not only his palette or brush, but his pen also knows the sense of beauty, and well insight forms, colour and words. Which make his work praiseworthy.

If you wasn't an artist, what other Profession would you do?

Nothing
