Harshad Shah

I was born in 1952 at Nadiad, Gujarat, India. From my very child hood philosophy, paintings, poems, and literature would delight my inner elements like mind, sense, ego and heart. Even in those days I always tried to express my views, dreams and ideas with the help of forms, colors and words. This process gradually led me to be a self thought painter and writer.

I graduated in commerce in 1972. After doing a job for good 18 years I started my own academy for education in Ahmedabad.

I did my first show of compu-paintings in 2000 at Contemporary Art Gallery, Ahmedabad. Bansilal dalal, the art critic had mentioned that it was the first of a kind one man show in Gujarat. After that I did few more one man shows of paintings in India. I had participated in painting exhibitions and competitions and had achieved quite a few awards. My work and new experiments of compu -paintings were recognized by many news papers, magazines, artists, TV channels and art lovers. Besides these I arranged art competitions for schools for children up to 16 years through my academy.

I have been in MA, USA since April 2013. I had submitted 8 paintings to the museum of computer art and had also participated in Donnie 2015 art competition. One of my paintings was selected as a director's choice.

With my other hobby of literature a novel author emerged in me and wrote a book of 723 pages named "SHRIMAD BHAGWAT JIVAN PARAG" based on Indian mythology and philosophy in traditional Indian Gujarati language. I firmly believe that the new methods, modern means and wide and deep sight of the new generation will lead the computer art to the world of dreams and images. This digital art will give the shape, forms and colors to the fiction wonderfully and scientifically.

I congratulate to Don Archer and appreciate the services for this modern digital art and art lovers.
