Let your mind wander and tend to your subconscious. 

I am Nakul Sahnan, a self-taught artist residing in New Delhi, India. After a short career in law, I found myself drawn to the freedom and self-expression that art allows. My work involves paintings based in abstraction and surrealism, with a mix of muted and bold tones. I primarily work with acrylics on canvas or wooden board, creating texture and depth with the use of impasto techniques and glazes over multiple layers. My process is deeply observational and introspective, I often work on up to three different pieces at a time, this allows me to figure out the direction of each piece without forcing my intuition.

My work is inspired by nature for which I travel, often spending time in small villages across India. Living among the local communities allows me to gain context of societal norms and purpose, in relation to the materialistic lives we live in the city.

I translate these observations into paintings that use biomorphic shapes and layered textures to evoke the natural world.  I hope that viewers will not only be drawn into the beauty of the paintings but will also be prompted to reflect on their own relationship with nature and society.

This is my attempt at reminding society of the core emotions nature holds within all of us. An attempt at rekindling our lost relationship with the planet and a reminder of the small joys in life!
