About my art

“Diamond Strokes with Glazing Character.”

Shiva and Nandi, 2025

Brush, colour and stroke

Shiva Hadimani trained in art in Dharwad and has painted in Karnataka for more than twenty-five years. He expresses his feelings through brush and colour, and the bold, sweeping stroke is the signature of his style: dynamic forms set against bright, light backgrounds.

India’s spiritual heritage

His paintings keep a clear focus on India’s spiritual heritage — above all Lord Krishna and his leela, moments he calls evergreen, and Lord Shiva — while also exploring contemporary thought through the eyes of an artist.

Diamond Strokes with Glazing Character

His simple, effective style has a name of its own: “Diamond Strokes with Glazing Character”. His paintings are in collections abroad and across India, and he has shown his work at more than thirty exhibitions and art fairs since 2000.
