SIDDHARTH’s
FOR WE ARE THE SAME
Siddharth Rastogi
Concept Note:
I have always loved painting still lives. Every object has a material, a texture and a story. These inanimate objects can tell compelling stories. MAP’s brief of Families: Found and Otherwise talks about family, friendship, and community. Often, the people we think we have nothing in common with, create lasting bonds.
I wanted to paint these ideas through these objects. All of these objects have different origins, different stories, yet they come together for a moment of pure love and joy .The cat and bird’s love has blossomed.The elephant and flower play a game, enjoying their friendship.
