In 2000, I started painting Sikh Art as a child of 11 years, for a local Gurudwara academy, at the request of the principal there.
In 2008, I started painting professionally, releasing the paintings of Mai Bhago ji and Baba Deep Singh ji to kick-start SikhiArt.com. This Classic Collection is available to purchase.
Last year in 2024, I finally completed the paintings of all 10 Gurus and Guru Granth Sahib, with the release of Darbar Guru Granth Sahib.
In the 90s, When I was 2-4 years old I did my first drawing of a horse. Fast forward to 2024, I released my painting of Bhai Bachittar Singh ji, which had been in the works since 2008-2009.
Bhai Bachittar Singh ji’s painting underwent many variations before I settled into the final. Perhaps one day I will share the story of its development over the years, and show you how it changed and evolved. It is a painting that I am honoured to have been blessed with.
In 2024, I also completed my painting of Shri Narayan. This was another piece that had been in the works for quite some time, since 2012. It was based on a dream I had in 2011.
Unlike the painting of Bhai Sahib, the painting of Shri Hari ji was set right from the start. I kept adding layers upon layers of meaning on top of the original concept inspired by my dream.
During 2024, I also created many shorts where I discuss spiritual concepts that can be applied to our daily lives.
You can watch these shorts on my Youtube channel.
After Bhai Bachittar Singh ji and Shri Hari ji, my second last painting of 2024, features Hanuman ji meditating on Shri Ram ji.
With this piece, I wanted to expand the original portrait and show the full scene that came to me during meditation.
There are many spiritual concepts that have been distilled down into this single image. Perhaps one day I will share how it developed and reveal the thought process behind this painting.
Now we are in the year 2025.
But we are not done with 2024 just yet.
There is one more painting I am releasing, which was completed in 2024. Keep an eye out for it in the next email.
In 2025, I wish that the Truth, within us all, continues to inspire me to paint the Gods, Gurus and Guardians, and whatever else it wants me to paint. I wish to serve it in any way I can.
Happy New Year!
Prints of all paintings are now available to purchase for your home.
