Chhering Negi’s practice draws inspiration from nature’s quiet, often overlooked details. He reimagines the mundane, blending reality with fantasy to reveal its hidden beauty and transcendence. His layered landscapes reflect life’s uncertainties and journeys, offering spaces that are both familiar and imagined. Through woodcut and lithography, Negi narrates stories of everyday lives-ordinary yet full of quiet strength and resilience.
The portraits in this series, based on people he encountered in Delhi and Himachal, capture faces marked by dignity, experience, and endurance. Natural elements surrounding these figures hint at their inner worlds and personal ecosystems.
Negi’s works explore the relationship between humans and their environments—where identity, struggle, and balance shape both people and place. Motifs like cacti and flowers embody life’s dualities, suggesting the tension and harmony of existence.
At its core, this series is a tribute to the human spirit—the universal effort to seek balance, meaning, and survival in an ever-changing world.
