Artist Weekly Staff

By: Jay Feldman

In the realm of contemporary art, where reality and imagination blur, stands Anand PKC, an artist whose name is synonymous with hyper-realistic oil paintings. He has carved a niche for himself in the art world. His creations are not mere representations; they are portals into a world where every brush stroke tells a story, and every color sings an emotion. One piece that particularly captivates and mesmerizes is the oil painting titled “Tabby with Golden Eyes.”

A Glimpse into the Masterwork

Upon first encounter, “Tabby with Golden Eyes” might easily be misconstrued as an expertly captured high-definition photograph. The centerpiece of the painting is a tabby cat, its striking golden eyes piercing through the linen, inviting the viewer into its enchanting world. This portrait promises a mesmerizing dialogue between the viewer and the subject—a sultry tabby rendered with unfathomable detail, its impossibly vibrant golden eyes gazing through a subtle, smoky dusk background. The fur texture, so meticulously rendered, invites one to reach out and touch it; each strand seems alive under Anand’s brush.

This masterpiece transcends mere visual replication, evoking emotion and connection to the feline’s soul—deep, reflective pools brimming with untold stories. The interplay between shadow and illumination enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure against its background—a testament to Anand’s mastery over his medium. “Tabby with Golden Eyes” not only captures the aesthetic qualities of the cat but also speaks to the profound bond that exists between humans and their animal companions. It succeeds in eliciting nostalgia and warmth, transporting viewers into the intimate folds of their memories and relationships with their beloved pets.

A Prodigy’s Journey

Anand PKC’s journey into the heart of art began at the tender age of three. Born into the diverse cultural tapestry of India from an affluent family lineage, his remarkable talent was identified and nurtured by his mother, an artist herself. Under her guidance, Anand blossomed, consistently triumphing in school and regional art competitions.

Despite pursuing a degree in Business to acquiesce to familial expectations, his passion for art remained undiminished; ultimately, the siren call of the canvas beckoned him back to painting, where his impassioned spirit was rejuvenated, achieving significant success. Over the years, Anand evolved from a promising artist to an acclaimed “Master of Hyper-Realism.”

An Acclaimed Artist and Juror

Today, Anand resides in the United States, where his oeuvre has garnered widespread recognition at esteemed venues like the United Nations Headquarters and Los Angeles Convention Center. Showcased in renowned art fairs and galleries across the nation, Anand’s talents have not gone unnoticed in the media, receiving extensive coverage, including a feature in the New York Daily News and TV appearances. He has received numerous accolades, including the ARC Approved Living Artist Award and Jury Diplomas from prominent art organizations.

Beyond his own artistic pursuits, Anand is revered as a distinguished art juror. As a notable member of the Eurasian Expert Jury Council Board, Anand played a pivotal role in identifying remarkable talents during the prestigious “Russian Academy of Art Events” held in Moscow and St. Petersburg from 2021 to 2022. He helped identify talented artists, advancing the art community with his astute eye for merit. These iconic art exhibitions in Russia showcased over five thousand global artists, drawing art enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.

The Artist’s Vision

Anand says – “No matter the form your artistic expression takes—whether realistic, abstract, or contemporary—the goal should remain to craft a work that resonates with a sense of beauty and uplifts the soul rather than simply throwing paint onto a canvas mindlessly without purpose, passion or intention.” This philosophy underpins every creation by Anand PKC and is vividly embodied in “Tabby with Golden Eyes.”

Tabby with Golden Eyes” is more than just a painting – it embodies Anand PKC’s artistic vision and undeniable talent. This masterpiece stands as a testament to Anand’s extraordinary talent and excellence in the hyper-realistic art world. With meticulous attention to detail, each brushstroke is deliberate, and each color choice reflects deep contemplation about nature’s inherent beauty, evoking emotion. Anand’s work resonates profoundly with its viewers, leaving a lasting, unforgettable impression.

As Anand continues to explore new subjects and stylistic approaches, expectations are high that his future creations will perpetually captivate and inspire. For now, “Tabby with Golden Eyes” shines brightly, and his ability to evoke visceral feelings through paint is a hallmark of his genius.
