G. R. Santosh

Artist Overview

Born in a lower middle class family of tragically beautiful Kashmir valley, Santosh was fascinated towards paintings since his childhood and he loves to make landscapes. In his early years, Santosh was greatly influenced by geometric shapes and the mysticism of the Kashmir valley. Although he began by painting landscapes, he was gradually influenced by cubism and switched over to creating cubist landscapes, a theme for which he is very popular now. A visit to the Amar Nath Cave in 1964 proved turning point for the artist and he stopped painting to study Tantra (mysticism) and Kashmir Shaivism (a sect of Shiva followers). Later, inspired by the Tantra philosophy, he combined the male and female form and finally worked round to paint a pure image of the human form, leaving out the face, hands, and feet. The artists' contribution to tantric art spearheads the movement in the art world. He gets several awards including Padmshree for his unique art style.
