Siddharth Kerkar: The Sculptor Artist’s Morning Routine

Whether it’s his morning routine or a work of art he’s currently creating, the process remains the same for Indian painter and sculptor artist Siddharth Kerkar: to be present, unrushed, and make room for creativity. The Indian painter and sculptor artist believes that being exposed to s since early childhood by his famous artist father Subodh Kerkar has made a world of difference to his art and everything else he does.

In a candid chat, the Goa based artist takes us through a day in his life. I’m an early riser three days a week, and I usually start those days with a workout. The remaining days are usually slow starts to the day. I usually don’t plan out my days or don’t have a to do list. I either paint, design places, create sculptures, design clothes, or work on things at the restaurant.

Since I do many things, I choose whatever feels best on that day. I designed my bathroom myself so currently it has my latest ceramic sculpture. : I usually trim my beard every 2 3 days and maintain it with a shave at the borders. The Clinique Men Aloe shave gel and the Mont Blanc Legend Aftershave cream are my favourites.

I usually mix 2 3 fragrances and also like making my own. My go to are Tom Ford Ombre Leather parfum, Bvlgari Man Terrae Essence, Chopard Oud Malaki and fragrances I’ve made at Zielinski & Rozen Leather Sandalwood Amber and Experimental Perfume Club. Black iced coffee, which is not very strong.

Lavazza is my favourite. If there’s time for it, I usually have scrambled eggs and a black coffee. I work out about three times a week with coach Shubra, who is 51 years old and runs a space called Metaburn Ignite in Goa. She’s also one of the most knowledgeable coaches in the industry. K: I usually read the newspapers in the morning.

However, I also do follow Indian news channels on Instagram which give me daily updates. : Calm acoustic songs if I’m starting the morning slow or progressive house if I’m rushing. I’m not much of a reader, but I’m a visual learner so usually prefer watching documentaries and podcasts. Usually non fiction.

: An eye blind and a bottle of water on either side of the bed. I can’t sleep with the slightest of light penetrating through my room so an eye blind is mandatory. belif the True Cream—Aqua Bomb Moisturiser Clinique For Men Aloe Shave Gel Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum Kimirica Everyday Sunscreen Spf 50+.
