Shubham Kesur

ARTIST’S STATEMENT: My main source of inspiration is landscapes. over the years I have experimented in many mediums including oil , watercolour, oil pastels, acrylic and have realised of late that I find great excitement in using thick application of paint. I love to communicate via colours but of late I am very thrilled on working with black on white. The materials I use constantly change but one thing remains unchanged is my innate need to express what touches my soul. My need to express how beautiful the world feels through my eyes is what drives me and is the reason for my will to paint.
