PAINTED FOOTSTEPS

When he picks a brush in his hands, Vikash Kalra feels a sense of energy and motivation, one he never Knew existed before he became an expert at forms and colour schemes of his own liking, says Yukti Narang

Vikash Kalra is a maestro of abstracts, blurred figures and surrealist ideas in art. Painting is equivalent to life for him, creating joy and beauty in every phase of his journey as an artist. He is a self-taught creator who went through a series of jobs and businesses before learning that art was his sole calling. No matter how much the artist paints, the thirst to create is not quenched but surges with each painting. As he started his voyage in art, he had no qualms about his vision or expertise, but his perspective towards paintings was different from what was ascertained. His paintings grew with him, an almost surrealist experience as they found colours, and myths turned into legends.
