From human emotions to human relationships, everything humane encompassing different spheres of lives, drive the enthusiasm and spirit of artist Sudeep Deshpande.

The Bahrain resident straddles different worlds of arts with his creative endeavours.

He is a renowned painter, sculptor and poet by heart and an architect who composes spaces by profession.

“I believe I became an artist out of my quest to explore various patterns of human life in abstract, figurative or semi-figurative mediums.

In my understanding, every human relationship and behaviour has a physical embodiment that could be visualised in art forms such as painting or sculpting.”

“It gives me great joy in feeling that various emotions, moods, or various thoughts … have their geometry, their lines… their mass and their own space.

To be able to identify, a form of a ‘mood’ and to execute it on canvas … has always been my interest and intention and in doing so, painting becomes ‘education’ for me.

“Primarily abstract in nature, my works speak of emotions, relationships, thoughts, that prevail and coexist without a condition of being expressed in the ‘regular’ ways.”

"To have experienced it quite often, that improvisation leads to minimalism …

Thus, one can find a minimalistic approach in the expression of subjects in my works.

My compositions hold a tight palette, to be in context with the subject matter and its strong symbolism.

My works are purely self-expression of bohemian ideas, with their austere execution, being an honest interpretation of my world.”

Sudeep, an architect for the past 18 years, was born to Dr Sudheer Deshpande, a sculptor, painter and academic, and Chitra Deshpande, an Indian classical music vocal artist.

His sister Sukhada Deshpande Khandkekar is an Indian classical dancer, theatre artist and actor. Sudeep has won many accolades that including an interview by Hollywood Studio Hard Rock.

He has been exhibiting his works at various solo and group exhibitions. Sudeep’s creative works were also displayed at an exhibition held at Bahrain Financial Harbour. His works will also be on display at the Spring-2022 Jaipur Exhibition.
