Time Moves. Art Stays Timeless.

Dali by COMDEZ presents

To Daniel, conservation is not a static practice—it’s a living act of empathy. Whether curating historical artefacts or orchestrating mass eye-screening programmes, his philosophy is rooted in the belief that visibility—literal and cultural—is a human right.

  • Past Forward – Art from Past to Future
  • Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi
  • 12th – 16th July 2025

The world is changing every second.
Even now, this moment has already become the past.
We are moving faster than ever—new inventions, new ways of living.

But in this fast-moving world, art stays constant.
True art doesn’t fade. The Taj Mahal will still stand. The Mona Lisa will still smile. Even after AI, even in a world of rapid change, real art remains valuable, relatable, timeless.

Past Forward is a celebration of that constancy.
It’s a space where art carries memories, emotions, and dreams across time—a space where the past and the future meet in the present.

Curated by Dali by COMDEZ, Past Forward brings together 50 narrative-driven paintings, 6 symbolic sculptures, and 2 immersive installations. The exhibition is a tapestry of artistic voices, each exploring the enduring spirit of art.

Featuring:

  • Hans Ram Jadav – Delicate watercolor landscapes that inspire a reconnection with nature.
  • Aditya – Hyper-realistic paintings that blur the line between art and reality, reflecting on the beauty of the everyday.
  • Dilawar Khan – Bold modernist works exploring environmental themes with a contemporary lens.
  • Pawan Sahu – A blend of traditional techniques and forward-thinking expression, offering a bridge between heritage and the future.
  • T.K. Manoj Kumar, IAS (Retd.) – A senior government official whose contemporary art reflects societal progress and sustainability.

A Journey Through Time

Past Forward is not just an exhibition; it’s an invitation to pause the rush, awaken your senses, and leave with something eternal—a feeling, a memory, a legacy.

Curator Vishal Goyal, Principal Designer at COMDEZ, shares:

“Art, at its core, is timeless. Through Past Forward, we want to remind the world that even as time changes everything around us, the stories we tell through art can stay relevant across generations.”
