From big art camps to living in different countries to make art, his paintings show how people from all over the world are connected.
As Saxena looks forward to the future, he wants to keep telling stories with his art. Every time he paints, he’s discovering new things about life. His paintings show the beauty and complexity of life with lots of energy and determination.
Vikas Kumar Saxena, an artist, grew up in Bareilly, a city in Uttar Pradesh, surrounded by art. His father and uncle were painters, so he learned about art from them. He also spent a lot of time in the mountains of Uttarakhand during his childhood, where he developed a deep love for nature. He finds beauty in nature’s rawness and reflects this love in his textured paintings. Saxena started painting at a young age, around when he was in sixth grade. His mother has kept many of his childhood paintings, some of which date back to sixth grade. When he was in eighth grade, his father organized an exhibition of his paintings, which included about 20 paintings of Indian cricket players. This marked the beginning of Saxena’s journey as an artist, which has included many group shows, solo exhibitions, and international art projects. He studied painting at Kumaun University and started a non-profit organization called “Sashaktikaran” in 2002 to promote arts and crafts. Saxena’s art is inspired by grand structures and historical monuments. He admires the architects and artists behind these structures and tries to capture their essence in his paintings. He has traveled to various countries, including Sri Lanka, China, Thailand, and Europe, where he draws inspiration from different architectural styles. Saxena’s paintings reflect a blend of dream-like imagery and reality, depicting the connection between the past, present, and future. He incorporates nature into his work to convey a message about the importance of preserving the environment. His art often portrays the co-existence of human civilization and nature, showing both the beauty and destruction caused by human activities.
