Sohan Qadri, a Copenhagen-based artist, seamlessly merged spirituality with art to evoke meditative tranquility through his vibrant, symbolic paintings. Born in India, Qadri was deeply influenced by an early immersion in yogic practices and encounters with wandering mystics, experiences that profoundly shaped his aesthetic vision. His distinctive style, which blends Tantric-inspired imagery with late modernist minimalism, earned him the title of "Tanoteric yogi artist" from Francis Newton Souza.

Qadri’s creative process was itself a meditative ritual. He would soak thick paper in liquid, carve it in stages, and then apply layers of inks and dyes. This meticulous technique became a spiritual practice, allowing him to fuse creative expression with contemplative depth. 

He formalized his artistic training with a Master’s degree from the Government College of Art in Simla. Beginning in 1965, Qadri’s extensive travels took him across Paris, Zurich, East Africa, and North America. His work has been featured in over a hundred solo and group exhibitions worldwide, including in the United States, Canada, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Austria, and Poland. His artworks are part of prominent collections, including the Peabody Essex Museum in Massachusetts, the Rubin Museum of Art in New York, and the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi. Sohan Qadri passed away in Toronto in 2011, leaving behind a profound legacy of spiritual and artistic fusion.
