Paras Parmar is a Mumbai-based contemporary visual artist whose current practice is deeply focused on figurative mythological themes rooted in Indian philosophy, symbolism, and spiritual narratives. Moving away from abstraction, his recent body of work reflects a conscious return to storytelling through the human form, devotional imagery, and timeless mythic characters.

Paras’s paintings draw inspiration from Indian epics, sacred iconography, and cultural memory. His figures are expressive and introspective, often portrayed in moments of contemplation, devotion, or inner stillness. Through carefully balanced compositions and a restrained yet evocative use of colour, he seeks to translate spiritual emotion into a visual language that feels both classical and contemporary.

Working primarily in acrylic and mixed media on canvas, Paras emphasizes form, gesture, and mood to convey deeper philosophical ideas. His approach allows mythological subjects to transcend illustration, becoming meditative spaces where viewers can connect with themes of faith, morality, and inner awakening.

Based in Mumbai, Paras Parmar continues to evolve his artistic journey by exploring mythology not as a historical reference, but as a living, relevant force that resonates with modern sensibilities. His figurative works invite reflection, offering a bridge between ancient narratives and contemporary emotional experience.

-----------

Paras Parmar’s paintings are subtle, yet vibrant and energetic brushstrokes that express the emerging independence of inner vision, which is an almost dream-like view. Due to his struggle in life, he investigates with his spirit to find out the solution. His inner feelings and moods can be experienced by his various brush techniques, after seeing his various canvases often and on Achievement are acquired by everyone with continuous struggle only.
