PROFILE OF THE MONTH: SANDESH R GAUNDALKAR
SANDY SOUL
This month we capture the mind of a Visualiser
from Goa, India, and peep into his canvas, while he paints his
life in words.

Sandesh R. Gaundalkar My favourite color: |
| and reflects the character of every shade. |
|
My favourite holiday destination:
Till now my native place – Goa. I like going there on holidays,
whenever I get the chance – just to chill out and have a
great time!
My idea of spending free time:
Listening to music, scribbling on paper, net-surfing which includes
online chatting, dreaming and most important watching love-birds.
 |
My favourite websites:
www.coolhomepages.com – it
is like a stock library that boasts of a number of web sites, where
I can find different possibility
to present my thought on media. It inspires and is a source of
my creativity sometimes as it doubles-up as a guide, frankly speaking.
www.flashkit.com, www.total3d.com – these
are sites I look up to and I would put them in my guru-list, because
I can download
tutorials and learn in my free time.
My favourite cartoon characters:
Donald Duck, Tintin and Jerry (of Tom & Jerry)
My favourite artists and people who inspire me:
I don’t go by any favourite artist as such. There are many
individuals I like because they are unique. Some of them worth
a mention are Prof P. Dhond, John Fernandes, Dalal, Raza, M.F.Hussain
and others like them. As far as influence is concerned, I learn
a little from everyone, that includes my surroundings and nature
itself. The world around me triggers my creativity and gives me
the spirit to do something unique, to help create my own identity.
We should use things that influence us to invoke a thought and
start a process, rather than simply block our minds and the ideas
we believe in. I believe that if you are totally influenced by
others, then you no longer reflect your own identity. I prefer
to collect a number of things that influence my mind and then reflect
on it and adapt them according to my imagination.

My type of music:
Indian classical and fusion. English & Hindi Pop where I keep
up with the current chart-toppers. Besides, I am inclined to Indian
Spiritual, these days.
Some useful tips:
Journey is not to reach a destiny. Everyone knows they will accomplish.
Travel is to enjoy every movement. Success is not where you end
up, so enjoy the journey.
My ambitions for the future:
The fascination for drawing in my childhood helped me choose art
for a career. I developed my skills to become a professional so
that I could benefit and fulfill my ambitions in the field of commercial
art. There are stages you go through as a professional artist and
I wish to climb up to the highest peak in the creative field.
My artistic roots, however, lie in my drawings and I paint whenever
I have time to spare. It is rightly said that an artist is a mirror
of society which reflects their surroundings they leave in. I love
my profession and wish to live an artist and be remembered as one
too. I hope to leave my identity on different canvases, which will
speak for me, long after I’m gone. So at present, I am working
towards it.
My message to the art community:
Whatever happened in past is over. Think of the future and how
you can shape it. Keep dreaming...!
Sandesh Gaundalkar dreams up
a world of ideas through various influences that spark his creative
senses.
