Resume-Kishore Shanker – Kishore Shanker

Born 28 September, 1969

Experience in Printing / Pre-Press, Designing, Photography, Advertising, Organizing – Art Exhibitions, Art Workshops and Art Competitions.

Being an artist, I confirm to this essence because I believe art survives in every single moment of our lives. It flows like a breeze, like water, like a thought…uninterrupted. My art works are a reflection and a visualization of my thoughts.
I am fascinated with light and try to capture that bright, illuminated spot in my photographs. In the absence of it I add it in through Photo-Graphics. My experiments in photography are a combination of digital photography along with computer graphics.
My paintings, most of the times, are a reflection of social issues like Misuse of Ultra, sound as in gender determination, Global Warming, Protection of Wildlife and Human struggles for survival etc. These themes keep my humane inner self-motivated & satisfied in my attempts at touching people’s hearts by awareness generation through my art works.
In my recent collection of paintings, I have made use of rainbow colors, as a symbol of the beauty of nature, the way it was gifted to us and Zodiac signs are another area of my keen interest in paintings.
