I am a full-time artist, creator, writer, film director and electrical engineer — someone who believes there is a place for every piece of art in the world.
I’m Krish, an artist from Chennai, now living in the Netherlands. My journey began in cinema—working behind the scenes on films such as Arima Nambi and Jil Jung Juk—where I learned that visuals can be more powerful than dialogue. Painting grew from that space, as a language I could claim for myself. It gave me the freedom to confront subjects without boundaries.
My works are born from social urgencies—voices that are silenced, the weight of mental health, the resilience of women, and the quiet rage of being human—and from my own outbursts of emotion. They are raw, restless, and unfiltered, sometimes silhouettes, sometimes explosions of color.
For me, art is not decoration but confrontation: a way to disturb comfort, open dialogue, and bring hidden stories to the surface.
Now based in the Netherlands, I bring that raw, cinematic energy into my canvases. My art is direct, socially engaged, and unafraid to disturb comfort. It carries the spirit of where I come from, yet speaks to universal struggles—voices suppressed, identities fragmented, emotions breaking through the surface
My work is rarely abstract; it emerges from textures, vivid hues, and intense emotions that express what words often cannot. It is rooted in the complexities of identity, memory, and emotional intensity.
Living with Borderline Personality Disorder and Dissociative Identity Disorder gives me a unique lens through which I experience and interpret the world. Rather than seeing these conditions as limitations, I embrace them as integral to my artistic process, shaping how I engage with fragmentation, transformation, and the fluidity of self.
I speak what I feel is right, even if bold; most I don’t; the untold I paint. My mind keeps creating the whole time, even when I am staring at the mirror for hours, looking at the blank void in front of me, even when I am gazing at stars all night, sometimes at the dark sky without. Some of these appear on the canvas.
I am happy that my work is able to invoke emotions in others and people resonate with it. I am an introvert, my words always dont express how i feel, in my work, some emotions are loud, some are hidden
My art is not solely mine; it belongs to those who encounter it. The moment someone resonates with its emotions or perspectives, it becomes theirs too; grounded in my lived reality, yet resonant with anyone who has ever felt divided, overwhelmed, or searching for wholeness
