Baljit Singh Chadha

Born with an investigative mind and nurtured by his parents' encouragement to explore without fear, he developed a deep fascination with the wonders of God's creation. This awe of nature sparked a lifelong passion for creativity. At nineteen, he ventured to Japan, a country with deep spiritual ties to India. Immersing himself in the rich cultural heritage of Japan, his creativity blossomed under the guidance of his first teacher and godmother, Ms. Otha Miyoko, a renowned Japanese artist who significantly influenced his early artistic expression. His art evolved into a style that minimizes the gap between feeling and expression, driven by spontaneity and inner spirituality. His work aligns with the broader scope of Abstract Expressionism, allowing for rapid and intuitive artistic creation. Unplanned and fluid, his art explores various dimensions of abstract expressionism, reflecting continuous experimentation and the pursuit of challenging metaphors. With over five solo exhibitions and participation in nine group shows, his contributions to the art world have been well-recognized. A significant highlight in his career is the creation of the "Wall of Divine Flowers," a collection of 12,000 paintings completed on 12-12-12 at 12 hours, 12 minutes, and 12 seconds. This monumental work was donated entirely to the Smile Foundation in New Delhi, underscoring his commitment to both art and philanthropy. His journey in art continues, driven by a deep connection to creativity and an openness to where higher forces may guide him next.
