Sidharths philosophy is back to roots in synergy with changing times. There are four major strands that seem to influence his creative outpourings and oeuvre. One can see a clear play of folk culture, history and traditional techniques. A meditative streak and study of classical texts is also evident in much of his work.

All through his life in art, Prem Singh has always gone back to nature, not for fresh pictorial idioms only, but to trace the Unmanifest beyond the world of senses. The paradox that his paintings present to us is that it is only through the sense perception of the familiar that we get intimations of the Unmanifest.
