Sandeep Mani, Indian, born in 1950

Sandeep Mani was born in Moga, Punjab, India. He began his studies at Lawrence School in Sanawar, India. In 1972 Sandeep graduated from The Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur with a degree in engineering. He earned a Masters in Business Administration from Delhi University in India. Sandeep has traveled the world and developed a keen eye for the colors and spirit of the human form, of animals and of nature. His portraits tell a story of life, a bit of time in an ordinary work day becomes a stunning work of art. Blossoms thriving in the sun are captured in oil on canvas for all time. An artist at heart, Sandeep breaths life into each canvas with stunningly beautiful images of India. His preference is oil on canvas painted with palette knife to create a heavily textured finish.

Sandeep Mani brings alive an enduring vibrancy of the spirit of India – ageless and exotic. His art expresses a fascination with the seamless co-existence of different eras in a land rich in tradition and history – timeless India. In this land the ponderous stride of the elephant still covers the urban jungle, the veil and the bikini grace the same stretch of sand, and the span from the sixteenth to the twenty-first is not merely a linear journey of six hundred years.
