About the artist:

Sachin Upadhye did his academics in mechanical engineering. His profession is that of manufacturing the canvas required by painters. His company 'Mona Lisa Fine Art Products' is the only canvas manufacturing unit in southern India. But this is not the only identity of Sachin or his relationship to the canvas.

Sachin is a self-taught artist and photographer. He has not learned painting or photography from any institute nor does he hold any degree from any art college, but his achievement in painting is mind-boggling. Certainly, Sachin has a very extraordinary career graph in art and has developed his own identity in Knife Painting which reflects his originality. His paintings display a freely used color palette in a range of different hues. His paintings are an expression of fabulous artwork having forceful strokes, confident lines, and thoughtful yet impressive color combinations. He makes his paintings from start to finish uninterrupted.

Though manufacturing canvas is Sachin's business, his steady advancement in the world of creativity and his love for art & photography is his mainstay for life, says he.

FROM THE ARTIST:

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 a palette knife, trying to hold myself in front of a lifeless blank canvas.

Every painting of mine is a part of me, maybe 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 has passed. Hence the painting should express the artist more than the objects he uses to convey the mood he is in. It's never planned, intentional, or mechanical ……its spontaneous, instinctive, and most of the time an emotional outburst that works as a de-stressing process. It can be a communicable medium if you can connect it with a painting.
