I remember, while I was studying 4th or 5th standard ( way back in 1981-82), dad encouraged me to compete for talent search scholarship of department of culture at Mandi House, New Delhi. With his guidance, I go it thru and stated receive scholarship towards continuation of my hobby – Clay Modeling. Every alternate year dad use to take me to Delhi and I use to appear for practical test so that the scholarship is continued. In 1988, I was proposed by one of the jury member to join Deptt. of fine arts and he can get me the same; as my work speaks for itself. I was dreaming to become engineer, hence could not take this proposal further. I think it was right decision because my current profession ( Human Resources ) has given me huge experience in people dynamics and practical life situations. But I kept light of art ignited in my persona and this has really helped me to bring innovation to my professional assignments.


After we have lost our mother in 2004 his work suffered a bit and we have tried to support in all his efforts and endeavors. During all these years I have seen my father creating sculptures on many topics.

He is a saint artist. His contentment lies in creating the art not selling or talking about it. I always wanted to bring him to limelight but I was also struggling to be successful in my HR profession. When I look back I see 13 years have passed away and I have done very little in this direction. This is an honest expression, but feel I could have done better. I took up a job in Delhi 2 years ago with an objective of bringing him from Patiala to Delhi so that he can interact with people of his sphere, but he could not do. Memories of my mother have not allowed him to move him with us. Realizing this situation, I have shifted my family back to Patiala in July 2008. There is huge satisfaction as a son that my wife is taking care of him and kids are finding it good to be with their grandfather.

He is back in motion again. Sharing his few art works which he created way back in 2003.

Contributing to cultural heritage !

He is in Kotputli, Rajasthan today with his artiste friend Rajesh Bandhu to select a stones for sculpture workshop which he is organising in Kapurthala, Punjab, India in Week 4 of Oct-08. He is very excited to organise that as he is always happy to serve the community and spread his knowledge across the world.

I saw his collection of water color paintings and thought of sharing it with all. This is one of the unique collections he has. If one can click on the link he will see old and original paintings made by his school students almost 30 years ago.

This is his passion to save art in all its forms. Our house is full of such amazing but beautiful articles of art, we all are proud of him.

Sagar Attar Chand is one of few individuals who have been blessed by almighty to dedicate their entire life to their 1st love – an Art. His nurturing happened in an environment which was full of art activities and he luckily got a job in the same field. He is breathing art and only art.

Our entire family (including myself – his proud son) has always tried to facilitate him in undertaking activities to live his zest. Its my endeavor to publish a book on his art life and to host a website to exhibit his creations to let budding artistes gain some insights from his works and his personality !
