From conventional, yet alluringly sensitive still life’s to stylized figure-based symbolic
compositions to his recent series on the 5 Elements of Nature, Nilesh dives deep into the
essence of earth, water, fire, air, and ether, exploring their interactions with human energy
and the universe at large. Explorations into both subject and medium seem to be an ongoing
process in his journey as an artist.
Colour controls the presence of emotion that is attached to every element in his work like -
fiery, warm reds of fire, sublime blues of water and wind and the like… Form substantiates his
colour codes and is expressed through a conscious effort to create a 'meaningfully
orchestrated' visual. A smooth rendering in spray technique, specially selected by Nilesh for
this series is the 'key' that brings about harmony. Elements have been given a half-toned effect
like the earth or the symbolic spear which adds a fantasy feel to the subject.
The depth in the
paintings reflects the artist's own character.
Besides several exhibitions and workshops to his credit, Nilesh has been awarded nationally
for his work at several competitions. He has always striven to communicate the underlying
content of his thoughts through his works of art.
