Rishi’s paintings seek to break through the veil of perception, exploring the hidden layers of psychology and spirituality. He creates a made-up language of symbols and abstraction, driven by a longing to unveil what lies beyond illusion. Each brushstroke is a step toward the unknown, inviting viewers to confront their inner landscapes and question what’s behind the curtain of reality. Rishi’s artistic approach is highly intuitive, unfolding organically rather than adhering to a fixed structure. He primarily works with acrylic on canvas and charcoal on paper, layering color, texture, and gestural marks. An essential element of his work is an evolving script of invented symbols—a personal visual language that remains open to interpretation, inviting viewers to find their own meaning.His brushstrokes are instinctive and fluid, shaping movement and depth in a way that feels more channeled than planned. He welcomes unpredictability, often scraping, erasing, and reworking the surface to uncover hidden forms and emotions. This meditative process allows him to access a deeper state of consciousness, where painting becomes a bridge between the tangible and the unknown.
