Siddharth Parasnis’ architectural and abstract paintings blend familiarity and obscurity through bright, textured geometries. His minimalist subjects, devoid of specific geography, evoke a sense of beauty and energy, suitable for any locale from Brazil to Japan to India. Parasnis skillfully balances improvisation and organization, using carefully composed sketches as the foundation for richly layered paint. His textured, ‘lived-in’ planes breathe depth and emotion into his depictions, capturing the essence of buildings and their histories. Originally from Pune, India, Parasnis earned his BFA in Illustration and Advertising in Bombay before relocating to San Francisco for his MFA in 2005. His work is exhibited globally and held in collections at Dell Computers and various art centers. Parasnis emphasizes the physical qualities of paint, exploring drips and color balance to achieve harmony in his geometric compositions.
