Pankaj Nigam, was born in Hamirpur, a small district in the state of UP. His father, an art teacher, was the person who introduced him to the world of art. Pankaj Nigam’s art is a fusion of art and poetry, emotion and expression, and freedom and conformity. One look at his art and you feel like you are being taken through a journey of your own soul. His art is full of expression—thoughts, emotions, and feelings—that cannot be expressed comfortably in a world full of conventional beliefs. His art is about his observations about people—their innermost fears and desires. Most of his paintings reveal introspection of some kind. Behind those strokes, lines, and colors are real people who are going through some sort of transformation—epitomizing a chimera—people who are bound but want to be free, people who are scared but bravely facing the odds, or people who are weak
but endeavor to be strong.
Pankaj Nigam lives and breathes his art. He kick-started his career by showcasing a unique experiment that combined his art with the work of fiery poet, Harivansh Rai Bachan’s Madhushala. In 1993, B.B.C broadcasted its review of Pankaj Nigam’s fusion art
Madhushala. Since 1993, his art has made its way to at least 36 exhibitions at various art galleries in India and abroad. Today, his paintings adorn the walls of the Rashtrapathi Bhawan, Ajay Bhawan, Lalit Kala Academy, and J.C. Art Center, Malaysia. But this journey is not over. These days, Pankaj Nigam’s paintings are more about one’s innerquest, about the search of one’s own Buddha; one’s journey from within. A stateof inner bliss where nothing exists but the quest... the quest to see the beauty of existence…the quest to touch the rhythm of the inner soul…the quest to feel the eternal light within the ocean of conscience.
