Pradeep Mishra draws on the natural world for the subjects of his paintings. Animals, birds and plants, as the artist’s main choice of subjects, portray his environmental concerns and his sensitivity towards the effects of present ecological imbalances. The deep intensity shown in his subject’s eyes, animal or human, blatantly displays their discontent. The fiery red colour that often fills up the background in Mishra’s canvases, adds to the defiant nature of his content.

Born in 1977 in Tumsar, Maharashtra, Mishra completed his Bachelor’s degree in Painting from the Sir J.J. School of Art in 2002, followed by his Master’s degree from the same institution, in 2004.
