SiriOm Singh is a self- taught artist living and creating in Trenton, NJ.
Born
in White Plains NY, growing up in Philadelphia, living in North
Carolina, Texas and Florida, and now in Trenton NJ, and traveling often
to Israel in the last 15 years, have exposed SiriOm to different
landscapes, light conditions, experiences, beliefs and human
connections. It broadened his visual horizons and affected his
technique, use of color and subject matter. Being involved with many
different cultures opened his eyes to see the sameness in all.
In 1999 SiriOm’s life took a turn into a focused spiritual practice and
a life style of a yoga practitioner. This transition, and his
commitment to peace in the world has had a powerful impact on his work,
which he sees as a representation of the divine in our life, and a
statement on the impact of humanity and nature on each other. All
images in SiriOm’s art are portraits, whether they are trees, flowers,
buildings or landscapes. They are all a representation of humanity- our
need to plant ourselves solidly in the world, to relate to other
elements and beings around us, to create structures that have a
personality, become living things and serve as a testament to how we
care for our world.
SiriOm Singh sees himself as
an abstract expressionist. He uses acrylic and collage applying
layering techniques, primarily with pallet knife, to create images that
are intended to help the viewer experience inner peace, love and unity
with the divine, with humanity and with the world.
