Read More Rishikesh likes his paintings to be such that they can be understood by everyone. A distinct feature of his work is the figure of his own self in all his works. According to him, later in time, this figure will help people know what was happening at various stages in his own life. His paintings depict the thoughts that hover in his mind when he is lonely and contemplative. At such times, thoughts of death and life after come naturally to his mind and find their way into his work. He constantly observes and reacts to these observations. These reactions are depicted in his paintings. He is deeply distressed by the selfish world around him and the negative influence of westernization on our society. He uses a lot of black and white in his work since he perceives them as pure colours. He admires the work of Tyeb Mehta and Jatin Das and his preferred medium is oil on canvas. Rishikesh has completed his B.F.A. in Painting from the Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai (1999). He is currently doing his M.F.A. - I with a specialization in Creative Painting at the same institute.
