My works are enriched with socially relevant, powerful and attractive figures on selective colour spectrum. I use medium that appeals to me: thread, nails, brunt plastic, vegetable dye and salt acid. often use some extra elements in the canvas." -Shakeel siddiqui. " I painted all my canvas in blue colours, because I just simply want to spread love and peace in our society and, about my work as I am always crazy about underwater world. So I painted my canvas in blue colours mostly, because I feel there are so much beauty hidden in the ocean, river, sea etc. People know the beauty of land part but other water beauty is different and more beautiful. So my works are based on underwater elements. I am very much crazy about the flow ofwater and movements of fishes, plants, holes in stones, small pebbles." - Sharad Bhardwaj
