B Arch (IIT Roorkee) sidjharia@gmail.com

  Siddharth Jharia is an Architect by profession, an artist by passion and a photographer by hobby.  Siddharth used watercolor in Visual Arts until his 4th year of BArch at IIT Roorkee, he also used Graphite and Ink, since that was the primary medium in preparing Architectural Presentations and Documentation. Thereafter, he has fully engaged himself in professional career of architecture till date.

  His keen perception to visualize and analyze anything has been majorly influenced by his Mentor Father Sri. Harish Jharia. Shri Jharia is a Mechanical Engineer and has served as a scientist in Ministry of Defence, an expert in Optics  

  Eventually, in March 2017 Prachie Siddharth's wife made him realize to also explore professional Fine Arts (his passion) alongside his profession of Architecture. He created several art works in different mediums during the subsequent two years. He participated in his first ever Group-Exhibition in All India Fine Arts & Crafts Society (AIFACS), New Delhi galleries in October 2018, where his exhibits were appreciated by one and  all. 

  He has also groomed himself in Furniture Designing for the past 17 years. He works on most of his designs in 3D and on a Traditional Sketchbook. Few of his furniture designs have  been displayed at a furniture collection based out of Chicago. He has gained in-depth knowledge of Furniture Construction and Manufacturing from a Hong Kong based Renowned Furniture Factory. 

  It was a moment of great pride for Siddharth when the legendary artist and sculptor Padma Bhushan Ram Vanji Suthar Ji visited his exhibition at AIFACS and appreciated his art, saying that Siddharth has a natural hold on such a hard medium like watercolor which is not common. 

  The prime aspect of Fine Arts for Siddharth is capturing common people in their instinctive state and natural environment. His paintings convey moods and expressions with utmost precision. His creative works are amalgamation of brilliant colors, dynamic compositions and meaningful messages. His key to a successful artwork is self-assessment of mistakes, patient hard-work and total dedication.

  In spite of being a water-colorist, Siddharth also considers other mediums like Oil, Graphite, Charcoal and Indian Ink as great modes to work on. Watercolor being the most unforgiving medium to work on, poses serious challenges for the artists. That is why he chose watercolor as his basic medium to create his artworks. Visualizing the natural contour that creates a 3-dimensional figure is a basic trait of an artist. Sculpting with air-dry clay interests Siddharth a lot as it adds that 3rd Dimension Physically into the artwork.

  Siddharth did his B Arch from IIT, Roorkee (erstwhile University of Roorkee) in the year 2000 and is pursuing a successful career in the field of Architecture. Ever since, he has worked on Traditional & Digital Architectural Visualization, Photography and Architectural & Interior Design.

  As a CoA Registered Architect, Siddharth has designed good number of Restaurants, Hotels, Resorts, Residential projects, Schools and Office Buildings and Interiors.  

He is the Creative Head and Partner at i-ARCH Studios, working on international projects with fortune 400 Architects worldwide.
