THE ARTIST: Shailendra Tiwari was born in 1952 at Barwani, a small town surrounded by the Satpura mountains in the tribal district of Khargone, Madhya Pradesh. He studied Nature through the innocent eyes of an introvert child. The primary quest to know the nature of things continued along with his introspection. He travelled through the villages of west Nimar, the interiors of tribal Baster and along the banks of Narmada, the virgin river of the Satpura. He was introduced to Hindu philosophy during his adolescence by his father which gave him a deep understanding of cosmic relations and interactions. It was a time of metamorphosis for Shailendra: he become the seeker, always seeking the cosmic communication. The experience of the Ultimate Reality was vibrating within him. It permeated deep within and its creative transformation came in the form of paintings. It was a great experience for shailendra searching for the self in its innermost depths. It was a journey from the surface experience of things to thier original fragrance. The journey strated in 1960 and is still continuing, talking different paths and experiencing. This dynamic reality through different levels of conciousness.
