Vinod Kumar

An engineer by education, this self-taught artist approaches painting as a deeply personal and reflective practice. He draws inspiration from stories, pictures, images, anecdotes, and scenes that become lasting impressions in his memory. Rather than painting for an audience, he creates primarily for himself, seeking to express the deep-rooted philosophy he has absorbed from within and around him. Each artwork holds personal significance and is regarded almost like a child, making it difficult for him to part with his creations. Without formal training in painting, he considers life itself his teacher. His creative process is intuitive and personal, shaped by observation, memory, and experience. His photographic references are often captured using a mobile phone rather than a professional camera.
