Thoidingjam Tombi Singh

An artist of profound depth and sensitivity, dedicating his life to capturing Manipur’s ever-changing socio-political landscape through his art. His artistic journey stands as a testament to his unwavering commitment to expressing the intricate interplay of emotions, society, culture, and politics.

Singh’s art serves as a reflection of his innermost feelings, intimately entwined with the surrounding environment. He perceives his emotions as an unending continuum, forever shaped by nature, the people around him, and the intricate fabric of social, economic, and political phenomena. Through his artistry, he embarks on a relentless voyage of self-expression, experimenting with paint and brush to convey the ever-evolving tapestry of contemporary consciousness.

Singh’s work finds its roots in the socio-political climate of Manipur. His paintings serve as potent representations of socio-political strife, challenging human relationships, and the rich cultural heritage of Manipur—all interwoven to convey a complex psychological state. What sets him apart is his ability to channel anger, suffering, and discontent into a subtlety that transforms his paintings into a poetic tapestry of color and form, transcending the confines of realism. Much like Manipuri dance, his art communicates through the language of subdued eloquence. His paintings yearn for peace and harmony.
