Prince Chand (b. 1973), a distinguished artist from Bareilly now based in New Delhi, masterfully intertwines Indian aesthetic principles—such as Rasa, Bhava, symmetry, and ornamentation—with traditional Indic techniques, imbuing his work with divine illumination and rich craftsmanship. His art, a harmonious fusion of intuitive insight and intellectual depth, creates a profound and resonant impact, capturing both the essence of classical beauty and contemporary relevance.

Chand’s artistic journey is profoundly shaped by his exploration of Buddhist art at the Ajanta-Ellora caves and a revelatory dream of Lord Buddha illuminated on a river. In 2007, this vision of Lord Buddha bathed in light and symbolizing enlightenment deeply influenced his creative direction. Immersing himself in the study of Buddhist religious art, Chand’s portfolio features depictions of Lord Buddha, Mother Teresa, Radha-Krishna, and Guru Nanak Devji, infused with themes of divine light and spiritual awakening. His work modernizes traditional forms through innovative techniques, focusing on abstraction to enhance the emotional essence (Rasa) and mood (Bhava) of his subjects..Chand’s creations transcend mere replication by channeling the energies of supreme reality. Revitalizing ancient motifs with a contemporary touch, he simplifies structures and rhythms with unique brillianceHis abstraction illuminates dazzling points of light with intricate use of color and form in otherwise sober canvases, continuing the traditions of temple and rock art with heartfelt and innovative expression.

Prince Chand earned his Master of Art from Agra University, has an impressive exhibition history both nationally and internationally. His solo exhibitions have been held in cities such as Bareilly, Haridwar, Dehradun, Mumbai, and Dubai, with notable group shows at prominent venues including the Lalit Kala Academy, India Habitat Centre, and Jahangir Art Gallery. His work has been featured in over 50 exhibitions, with significant showcases in Mumbai, New Delhi, and Dubai.
