A preeminent Indian artist of large-scale paintings and bronze sculptures that echo the visual motifs of Indian classical art. Born in 1975 in Kerala, his early works depicted the socio-political struggles of his home state in a modern, abstracted style. Later in his career, however, Prakashan was profoundly influenced by the vibrant culture of Rajasthan as well as its miniature painting traditions, leading to the whimsical scenes of flora, fauna, and mythological imagery for which he became acclaimed. He has also cited inspiration from Indian heritage paintings.

​

Prakashan studied art at the School of Arts (Institute of Fine Arts) in Thalasseri Kannur, in addition to earning a master’s degree in Malayalam literature. He has exhibited extensively in museums across India as well as abroad, including Kuwait and Oman.

 

Prakashan has received numerous prestigious awards and achieved many organizational awards for his contribution to the various Indian artform platforms. Warm welcome to buy my prints online or view them at our art gallery at Thalasseri (Kannur).
