HIMANI ISHAR SINDHWANI
WHERE PHOTOGRAPHY MEETS IMAGINATION - CAPTURING REALITY, CRAFTING ART
ARTIST STATEMENT
While a place may be immovable, the elements at play in an environment bring it to life in infinite ways, changing with each movement of air, water, light and sound. Deeply influenced by a life well-travelled from childhood, my art practice employs pastiche photography with multiple elements bringing the myriad facets of what we call “place” within a single artwork.
My work absorbs the fleeting movements of natural elements in a space that’s geographically situated but never the same from moment to moment. As an artist, I really hope to transform my photographs into captivating visual narratives. My work is deeply influenced by the places I visit and the colours that inspire me.
Each piece serves as a vibrant exploration of a memory, place, and imagination.
BIOGRAPHY
Himani is an Art Photographer with a background in interior designing and uses digital media as an expressive tool. She Specializes in pastiche photography and digital art-making to capture the essence of time and place in meditative, striking, mixed modalities, combining original photography with digital painting and layering.
Himani's creative journey has been a perfect balance of photography & art. She is a professional photographer with a passion for photographing all things nature. It is this passion that drives her to create digital artworks, where she uses her own photographs with distinctive subjects, textures, settings, and experiences, creating one-of-kind montage compositions depicting stories within stories. The final result is a kind of fantasy that portrays the harmony between her thoughts and the universe.
Born in Jammu & Kashmir (India), her sense of place evolved as she travelled the breadth of India, the daughter of a Navy official, subsequently sailing the seas with her Navy husband before settling in Singapore in 2006. This beautiful port city has been the ideal home for her photography, both as an art practice and as a commercial photographer. She has catered to many luxury brands as a photographer and her creative journey as a digital artist is nurtured by absorbing the sights, sounds, and abundant play of natural elements mixed with the urban landscape of Singapore and beyond.
