NIDHI SAMANI
Born: 1968, India
Resides: Singapore, Taipei, London
Nidhi Samani, an artist with a rich heritage in fashion design and art, began her creative
journey in 1988, deeply influenced by her family and cultural roots. Her art is a profound
exploration of the natural world, philosophy, and the spirit of meditation, reflecting her deep
interest in inward exploration and the sensory connection between the virtual and real worlds.
Nidhi's art is distinguished by its unique synthesis of inner feelings and tangible reality, a
process where she dissolves the boundaries between the two to create a natural code that
appeals to the senses. Her work often merges the spirit and the natural world, resulting in art
that resonates with introspective and emotional depth.
While contemporary art often leans towards abstraction, Nidhi's Abstract series is
characterized by techniques of superimposition, juxtaposition, and re-contextualization,
evoking urban and rural landscapes that reveal the introspective realities of modern
civilization.
A fascination with Chinese brush strokes led her to train under Master Lin Lu Zai in
Singapore, which influenced her Blooms series. This series intertwines the cultural
narratives of the cities she has visited with the objects in her art, creating a rich tapestry that
documents memory and the interconnection between natural and spiritual realms.
In her Journeys Beyond series, Nidhi subtly incorporates metaphysical and non-material
concepts, creating paintings that convey a rhythm of calm amidst the chaos of the modern
world. Her work stands out in the art world for its rare perspective, which turns inward to
reflect the natural world, ultimately leading viewers back to their own hearts and spirits. This
distinctive approach allows her art to transcend cultural boundaries, establishing a unique and
personal style.
Nidhi Samani's work has been exhibited internationally, including in Taipei, Singapore,
India, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and beyond. Notable exhibitions include the 2024 Hong Kong
Affordable Art Fair, 2023 Shanghai Affordable Art Fair, 2022 ONE ART Taipei, 2021 ART
TAIPEI, 2021 Spring-Time - Art Trail Group Exhibition in Taipei, and the 2019 ARTery at
Marina Bay Sands Exhibition Center in Singapore.
Her art is part of private collections across the globe, including in Australia, Singapore, Hong
Kong, India, Kenya, New Zealand, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the UK, with collectors ranging
from art enthusiasts to senior executives in Singapore.
