About his paintings:
Siddharth has created his own unique style in which he rarely uses the brush. He calls
his technique "brushless painting".
His latest paintings is an Abstract Portraits Series of "Dark South Indian" women. While
he started off painting Abstracts, his style has now evolved into a fusion of Figurative
and Abstract, with Figurative dominating his art.
Siddharth is very much an Indian Artist, but he has never been able to distance himself
from Western influences.
"I'm drawn towards the intricacy of Modern Indian Art and the Simplicity of Western Art.
A big part of my struggle as an artist is to make the two art forms meet."
His paintings can be viewed at his Bangalore based Gallery, Sid Art Gallery, Indiranagar.
