ABOUT ARTIST

Dhanesh Kondon narrates stories with his brushstrokes – stories of men and women, from far and wide, and of places, seen and unsung, and of objects, contextual and conceptual.
While the breadth of his subjects is wide, the impressions that his watercolours make are pointed in their astute observation of details, and sharpened by an underlying
emotion. And that defines his works as more than ‘paintings’ but stories in colours, colourature. As an artist, Dhanesh’s sensibilities are shaped by his own multicultural experiences – of growing up in the monsoon rich south Indian state of Kerala, where green comes alive in wonderous hues, and the sea near his hometown plays to the melody of the tide and seasons bringing alive myriad pantone scales. When it rains, the thunder and trickle of the waterdrops, and the puddles they make etched in his mind forms that defied the boundaries of his notebooks. His passion for the arts took him to the College of Fine Arts
in Kerala, where he specialised in Applied Arts. It opened him to the world of graphic design and illustration, refining his own skills teaching design and painting for five years to
undergraduate students in India. Now a creative director with Proof Communications, the
branding, design, digital and social division of ASDA’A BCW, the region’s leading PR agency in Dubai, his artistic bend gained newfound inspiration in the golden hues of the
desert-scape, and in the fringes of isolated green framed against thick-blue skies.
Dhanesh, not surprisingly, focuses on watercolour portraits, each face bringing out more than the ‘face’ but character, milieu and an open-ended field of thought that draws you
make your own impressions. From ‘faces’ to ‘places,’ Dhanesh’s works do not waver in their intricate detailing. Landscapes of the places that impress him – the alleys of Dubai with their cobblestoned pathways and prayful minarets, to the lush green rural retreats of his
own hometown, his brush paints in a vivid flourish. Dhanesh’s works have been exhibited in India and Dubai. He travels extensively, each journey an artistic mission to connect to himself and to the world through the medium of water colours. The brilliant blend of colours, the surprising contrast of shades, the inspiring symphony of refined
brushstrokes – in Dhanesh’s ‘colourature,’ you discover the
many facets of life, indeed. Dhanesh lives in Dubai with his wife Joona and children
Agneya, and Akarsha.
