Rajesh K. Baderia (b. 1959) was born in Jabalpur, India, where the striking marble cliffs and the serene Narmada River shape the picturesque landscape of his birth. He derives profound inspiration from the enigmatic allure of nature and the cosmos intricately woven into the spiritual fabric of his hometown. His artworks transcend conventional artistry, delving into the depths of spirituality and human consciousness, encapsulating the metaphysical essence through rich colour and forms.
Baderia's artistic style captivates through meditative abstraction, where lively colors and ancient symbols converge to create metaphysical landscapes. His relentless exploration of spiritualism and mysticism is reflected in an intricate interplay of colors infused with eternal symbols, crafting symbolic abstract expressions of sublime spirituality. Often set against a backdrop of deep blacks, his works evoke a contemplative realm where Indian philosophy, mythology, and occult sciences intertwine. Baderia channels energy through light streaks and diverse shapes, conveying hope, happiness, and positivity. His paintings, inspired by omnipresence, are abstract expressions of experiences and beliefs, forming a distinctive artistic style. He begins with line drawings on high-quality paper, reinforced with glued paper or wood board covered with cotton cloth, using watercolors mixed with binder adhesive and gesso paste made from chalk powder, zinc, and Mara vajra.
Refining his craft through numerous solo exhibitions across India and abroad, Rajesh K. Baderia has gained acclaim for his distinctive artistic voice. His works have been prominently showcased in the USA (2003) and Guadeloupe (2011), and he has participated in over 25 group exhibitions and various international art camps. His exhibitions in the USA, Paris, Sweden, and Guadeloupe have enriched his perspective and expanded his artistic horizons. Recognized for his contributions to contemporary Indian art, Baderia continues to inspire with his evocative compositions that resonate with the universal human experience.
