Born in 1966 in Chandigarh, Tejinder Kanda completed his BFA from the Government College of Art in Chandigarh and taught art for a few years before taking to painting as a fulltime artist.

His rhythmic expressions on canvas captivate the ambiance of life with all its trappings, with people busily engaged in their daily routine. His renditions, in small and big sizes, of India and hill towns feature the buzz of bazaars and street life, festivals and temples. His colourful palette in dense textures is an attempt to capture the social history of contemporary India.
