Sudhir a painter and sculptor lives and works in Nasik an industrial and religious town in Maharashtra. Many of sudhir's paintings are based on Vedic philosophy. He believes that we have a rich storage of-heritage. He falls back upon Adhyatmas while painting or sculpting.
Coming from a middle class background, Sudhir had to face the problems that almost every artist experiences. Sudhir wants to add more dimensions to his works. He wants to make them more functional. He wants his paintings to move and emit sound. He is also an artist of repute who figures in the Guinness Book of Records for his gigantic sculpture, 'Powerful'. He is a member of the International sculptor Centre, Washington. This sculptor painter who more of a Rishi, is always ready to spring a surprise.
Re, a Sanskrit word, which means a seed of Rigveda, is the title given to his works, Acrylic on Canvas in an abstract form. "Re" means to move, rise and end upwards and also means 'sacred knowledge' of the Rigveda, where poetry and emotions go hand in hand, where every colour depicts its own story: reality of life.
