Swarnjit Savi donated Rs 11000-00 to EK PRAYAS- an NGO working for the differently abled children
Profuse in her appreciation of the paintings collection Sameera Bector said the paintings have a peaceful and positive aura about them. Well-known Delhi based artist Sidharth said the paintings of Savi are manifestation of the wish to see the world as a beautiful place. “The earth had a desire to be beautiful so nature took over with flora and fauna blooming all over. Man in his greed went on to destroy all that. Artists like Savi desire to obliterate that ugliness to recreate beauty,” he said. Mark Victor, an artist from California in USA calling it a wonderful work appreciated the subtle texture of the paintings. Appreciating what he called the spirituality offered by the paintings he said he found the subject-matter very intriguing. Savi, also a well known poet and photographer, has earlier showcased his artistic works at different places in India. His works have also been displayed in public places and in private collections in US, UK, Philipines, Uzbekistan and Afghanistan.

THE SPEAKING TREE- 2002-2005
MANY YEARS BACK ONE EVENING I WAS WALKING IN PAU, SUDDENLY I WITNESSED A WONDERFUL LANE OF TREES FULL OF FIGURES, FEELINGS AND TALKING WITH ME. AT THAT TIME I WAS NOT WITH MY CAMERA.
AFTER THAT EACH TIME I WALKED THROUGH THE LANE I CLICKED MANY MANY PICS. THEN FOR AROUND 3 YEARS I WAS CLICKING THE TREES WHEREVER I TRAVE..

POSTER POEMS ( 1986-1989)
POSTER POEMS ( 1986-1989)
when my Punjab was feeling the heat of extremism, each one was thinking that when and how this phase will come to an end. Artists, writers, theatre-persons all were divided into 2 sections. One was keeping silence and were posing to be more intellectuals and the second section was actively participating against the negative forces. Poets - writers were writing on the issues concerned, Nukkad Natak and theatre shows were organized all over Punjab, Painters were painting the agony of the environment. In this situation i choose my role and started painting poster-poems (Amrita Pritam suggested this name for the form i was creating) in which i painted an image related to the extract of poem on art sheets with poster colors. The range of poets from the galaxy was from Baba Farid to the contemporary poets of my language. I made around 70 frames and it got an enthusiastic response from the viewers in different exhibitions in north zone. After then Gursharn Bha ji asked me if he could take the responsibility of shows, and i happily. He exhibited the show in each of his performance for many years. So this was my part to make the common man aware of the fact that what was happening in our state......
