Rajinder Singh Khela

PAINTING - ABSTRACT

Art has been a life long passion. Even as a very young child Rajinder would often be found with crayons and pencils in hand, colouring and drawing anything and everything from plug sockets to cereal packets, sitting alongside his big brother. 

Reading and writing have been difficult for Rajinder and as he grew he faced some significant mental health issues but art and graphics remained his constant, providing comfort and inspiration, and eventually the means to help him successfully navigate his way back home to himself and his loving and supportive family. 

Rajinder has no formal art qualifications but as a young adult he undertook a national diploma, studying art and art history, including Kandinsky, Dali, Rothko and the Reinnaissance, which was life changing, leading him to visit major galleries and art institutions, and providing the underpinnings for his formal art practice.

Today Rajinder is an accomplished artist working in oils. He has grown and developed a unique style based on his personal life experience, creating highly textured artwork inspired and motivated both consciously and subconsciously by his personal life journey.
