RAMESH THORAT
For Ramesh Thorat, art is not confined to the boundaries of a canvas; it is inseparable from the act of living itself. He perceives no division between life and artistic practice—the journey becomes the artwork, and existence turns into an ongoing creative process.
With decades of artistic experience, Ramesh’s work is bold, contemplative, and intentionally unsettling to the unaware mind. Rather than offering comfort, his paintings challenge habitual ways of seeing, urging the viewer to move beyond surface appearances into a state of mindful observation.
Painting, for Ramesh, is only one medium through which thought takes form. His practice extends beyond the studio, shaped by an attentiveness that treats everyday action as a site of art. As he reflects, “People assume that what drama goes on the stage is a form of art. But what if the stage is right here? It’s all an act; we all are a part of drama and hence, a form of art.” This worldview positions awareness itself as the highest artistic gesture.
Mindfulness, rooted in compassion, lies at the core of his practice. Each brushstroke, each decision, becomes an opportunity to cultivate presence. His works do not seek to explain; they invite attention—asking the viewer to slow down and engage with perception itself.
Through sustained inquiry and lived philosophy, Thorat continues to blur the line between artist and life. His practice transforms
