Satish Gupta stands among India’s most profound and multidimensional contemporary masters — a painter, sculptor, poet, and philosopher whose creative spirit flows effortlessly across mediums. Deeply influenced by Zen philosophy and the mystic traditions of the East, his art becomes a meditative journey — where silence speaks, and the invisible takes form.
Across a distinguished career spanning several decades, Gupta has presented over thirty-seven solo exhibitions across the globe — from Delhi to Paris, New York to Melbourne. Each exhibition unfolds as an exploration of the eternal, the elemental, and the boundless interplay between being and becoming.
His monumental sculptures, such as The Buddhas Within at the Prince of Wales Museum, Mumbai, and the radiant Sun God at Delhi International Airport, embody a sacred dialogue between matter and spirit — between what is seen and what is felt. In his live performances, brush, body, and breath converge; calligraphy, music, and dance dissolve into a single pulse of creation.
A poet at heart, Gupta’s writings — Zen Whispers and I Am the Dewdrop, I Am the Ocean — mirror the same meditative rhythm that permeates his visual art. His work, whether in copper, canvas, or clay, emanates a quiet luminosity that invites the viewer into contemplation — to witness, to pause, and to awaken.
From Zazen, his serene studio on the outskirts of Delhi, Satish Gupta continues to sculpt silence and paint stillness — giving tangible form to the formless, and timeless life to the momentary. His art is not merely seen; it is experienced — like a breath of infinity suspended between two heartbeats.
