Nirmal Dhiman is a Crawley, West Sussex, UK based artist, illustrator and designer who works on award winning interactive design and websites, illustration projects, animation/motion graphics, photography, typography and design for print, vector/bitmap image making and typeface design.
Nirmal likes to make drawings and paintings using watercolour, gouache, inks, collage, letraset, found elements, verse or prose.
In 1996, he found an unused diary from 1969. In which he started to make a drawing a day, a process which evolved into a drawing about that day's experiences. A project that he has been working on ever since.
Every entry is complete in itself and is usually made using watercolour, inks, pencils, collage or relevant media from that day, poetry, prose and even parking tickets.
Past events echo and manifest themselves again in future entries. Often parts of yesterday's entry come through the paper and become intrinsic to the next day's work. News events, popular culture and technology add to the mix.
These works have been described as modern day Bristish/Indian miniature paintings. The project has since formed the core basis of all my work and has grown into a daily requirement. Currently spanning over 3,300 entries, the visual diaries have become a personal archive of moments, meta-content and ideas.
