Shubham Karsan Kesur (b. 1995) is a visual artist. As a visual art practitioner backed with teaching experience, he guides aspiring students through the nuances of visual art engagement. He has dedicated his creative journey to the infinite beauty of nature that he considers and worships as his guru. His artistic techniques are a manifestation of his long term engagement with art and nature. The thicker the impasto patches, the more the endurance and enjoyment derived from it. Shubham replicates the thrill of the himalayan terrains, the feelings of being perched and at the top of the world in his art. His artworks are inspired by the view he saw while being there, the gradual dawn; heavenly glow; the red and orangish yellow hues; and the blue of the water which looked purple as the sun rose above the horizon. He attempts to relive this out of the world experience by painting on his canvas.
