Also avail personalized hand drawn portrait, customized painting and digital services. I am Surinder Shanker Anand and I live in Chandigarh - the City Beautiful, situated in Northern India at Shivalik foothills. Since childhood, I was blessed with innate artistic abilities. As a kid, at the age 3, I used to draw on the cement floor using coloured medicine tablets and chalks :-)
Art is more of a h
appening, a meditation, where subject and object merge into each other, and one transcends the concept of time, space and unit. It's amazing that this phenomenon takes place when the entity "I" is not present at all. Anyway, though I enjoy this creative happening, the manifestation may be enjoyed by others. My artistic expressions are engaged with the subjects related to humans (portrait and body dynamics), nature and spirituality. I like to sketch using pencil, water colour, acrylic, pastel, oil colour and digital tool such as Wacom Cintiq Pen/Tablet, CorelPainter, CorelDraw, Adobe Photoshop and ZBrush etc. Under my individual social responsibility initiative, I have conducted over 150 free art and craft classes, which were attended by over 175 participants, age ranging from 5 to 55 years. Apart from individual social responsibility initiative, I have received innumerable awards and accolades. By profession, I am software professional, having over 30 years of experience in the IT, primarily in Analysis/Design, Software Development, Delivery, Project Management and rest of the phases of SDLC. I have worked at on-site with American Express (TX, USA), Nekema Inc (NJ, USA), Premier Inc (NC, USA), Syntel Inc (MI, USA), Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd (Mohali, India) and Semiconductor Complex Ltd (Mohali, India); and managed various on-site/off-shore IT projects. I am Masters in Economics from Panjab University, Chandigarh, India, with Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management. Apart from my profession and art, I have a keen interest in swimming, ancient scriptures, astrology and spirituality. Hope you will enjoy my creations posted on this website. You have a good time!
