My statement...................
As an artist, I try to make that art, culture of fisherman society, which has been running since ancient times. The cultures of this society and its living conditions which affect me. Among which I spent years and here I was born. The subject matter of this society is part of my art. Such as water, land, air, fire, sky, navy, fisherman, boat, trap, hull, house and subject matter in modern life. Keep trying to find new things. As much as the importance of water, the importance of everything is the same. Whether it is small or big
When making artwork, I remember all those things which you can see and feel in my art. The way to apply the color is rubbed like a broom. In the colors and lines, the society looks like a busy life and a hopeful world.

एक कलाकार के रूप में, मैं उस कला को बनाने की कोशिश करता हूँ , मछुआरा समाज की संस्कृति, जो प्राचीन काल से अब तक चली आ रही है। इसी समाज की संस्कृतियों और इसका रहन सहन जो मुझे प्रभावित करता है। जिसके बीच मैंने वर्षों से बिताया और यहीं मेरा जन्म हुआ। इसी समाज के विषय वस्तु मेरी कला का हिस्सा है। जैसे की जल, जमीन , वायु, अग्नि, आकाश, जलपरी, मछुआरा, नाव, जाल, पतवार, घर और आधुनिक जीवन में आने वाले विषय वस्तु। नई नई चीजों को खोजने का प्रयास करते रहता हूँ। जल की अहमियत जितना है, ठीक उसी तरह प्रत्येक चीजों की अहमियत उतनी ही है। चाहे वह छोटा हो या बड़ा।
कलाकृति बनाते वक्त उन सभी चीजों को याद करता हूँ , जिसे आप मेरी कला में देख और महसूस कर सकते है। रंग लगाने के तरीके झाड़ू लगाने जैसा रफ घिसाई होता है। रंग और रेखाओं में समाज की अस्त व्यस्त जीवन और एक उम्मीद से भरा संसार दिखाई देता है।

Santosh Kumar Sahni’s Paintings: Water Life with Myriad Textures


Santosh said “Water is life,” we all recognise it without any doubt.  It is the lifeline that feeds all living organisms including us. It represents the very essence of life. The five elements of universe are:  Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. The cosmos comprises of these dynamic elements and varies in degrees depending upon the structure, nature and function of the created object.

Importance of water has never been more deeply pronounced as it is today and who knows it better than the artist—the painter who has been working  for several years on three layers of charcoal, acrylic and oil — with paintings that incorporate the juxtaposition of images, ideas or materials with, water, mermaid, boat, sailor, fish and more. Santosh Kumar Sahni’s earnestness with which he paints the texture of animal lives along with their habitat — water, and its landscape — reveal a co-habitation that exists and that needs to be carried on without breaking the equilibrium. Sahni has taken water as a metaphor and painstakingly developed the concept into a subject in these paintings.

Even as we are concerned with dwindling and deteriorating ecological balances and feel helpless, painter in Sahni , slowly but steadily, configures what is needed to be done and the result is everyone to see. And, no doubt, he looks as an accomplished painter.

Born, and brought up in Darbhanga and educated in Darbhanga and Chhttisgarh, 38-year-old Sahni envisions the universe and brings in the creative thinking on his canvases. Like many of his ilk, Sahni is under strong spell of a cultural harmony where the conditions may not be as conducive to contextualize an indigenous culture and new ideas. As a result there is a genuine impulse for new creative surfaces.
