About Visual Artist Umesh Pandey

Artist Statement

The interplay of colors and forms has always captivated me, and nature—especially the flora around us—holds endless possibilities for exploration. I am deeply drawn to the purity and immense beauty of the natural world. For me, painting nature is internalizing and translating its vast, ever-changing beauty into my work. Nature offers an incredible variety of colors, textures, and shapes, inspiring and fueling my creativity.

Artist Bio

Born in 1961, I spent most of my career in banking, retiring in 2021. Now settled in Bhopal, I am fully immersed in my artistic pursuits, with painting being a central focus. I primarily work in watercolor but also experiment with oils and acrylics. Each medium brings its unique possibilities and challenges, and I find it both exhilarating and fulfilling to apply paint to a surface, eagerly awaiting the unexpected beauty that emerges, regardless of the medium I choose.
