Artist Govinder Nazran has published his designs in the fine art market since 1999 and is currently expanding his art into sculpture.

He lets viewers determine what they would like to see from his art, with images that appear almost whimsical on the surface.
His paintings are unusual in that he always knows exactly what the colors will be before he starts a painting. He uses oil bars directly onto the canvas, utilizing his fingers, rather than a brush to work the paint into the canvas. Nazran feels that the end result is part defined and part abstract as he looks for connections between shapes. He looks to nature and he looks to emotion, and builds on each.
Nazran's distinctive and varied paintings and sculptures are available at galleries and retailers worldwide.« see less
