Arjun Shardi Puri
Shardi maintains a creative level in expression in which the earthly walk has a transcendental dimension. By no means is it art for art’s sake, because it has arisen from existential doubts and is a constant search for meaning.

Emotions, states, attitudes, questions to materialize in a painting are a demanding task because it requires from the painter both concentration and ecstasy. The possibility of instilling immensity and stratification of the spiritual exists in at least two basic conditions — artistic talent and sincerity of approach. Shard reveals the truth through the foreboding of form, the associativity of the subject, the imaginary of the landscape through the immediacy of the statement and the continuous deepening of the content. The psychogram in his painting leads to a scene on the border of reality, a vague division of reality, that is, the identical persuasiveness of the tactile and the spiritual.
Metaphysical pleasure permeates every corner of the scene. Often an enigmatic reading of a painting story. The boundary of the figurative, the touching of the abstract is relavitized and the forms mean ambiguity. And as an echo of the objective and free form associated with the radiance of color and the restlessness of the silhouette. Sardi’s compositions are dynamically filled with moving forces, with forms of indented outlines. Both the density and transparency of the surface are open to reversals, with spatial depths of disappearance, and stopping the dominant in the foreground. The vitality of the gesture is a reflection of a kind of painterly euphoria which, paradoxically, is at times marked by calm, a meditative component of the work.
Directness and pauses alternate as methods of painterly construction, on which they are a copy of the mood. Phantasmagoricity is a reflection of Darko Šardi’s imagination, the richness of iconography in works full of artistic cover. Shardi is not burdened with stylistic purity, but in most works the consistency of poetics is recognizable. Originally lyrical connotations with a change to dramatic. With the entry into the “ambience” of the surreal, with the dialogue of painterly reality and intangible content.
In a beauty that does not have the appeal of first sight, but now has the charm of discovering new faces. It looks beyond the superficiality and attractiveness of the impression. And color with its energy determines the movement, atmosphere, vibrancy of the surface. Shardi draws us into the epicenter of his paintings, into the pulsation of the core into the subtlety of the touch of the brush. The field of painting becomes, in the best sense of the word, a battlefield, in shifts in the direction of strokes, a clash of chromatic intensities, which are the bearers of the layered form imagined in the artist’s co-creative act. By no means is it art for the sake of art, for it has arisen from existential doubts and is a constant tearing for meaning.
