Dark Light

Nilesh Dada Nikam, work delves into themes of meditation and spirituality. His paintings are characterized by mystical motifs, intricate textures, layered applications, and traditional Indian symbols, all brought to life with a vibrant color palette. Each canvas is often divided spatially, symbolizing the contrast between one's spiritual and worldly auras, inviting viewers to interpret the art in their own personal way.
