About

Dinesh was born and raised in Cheltenham to Indian parents and has always been surrounded by Indian culture and artifacts. He has a mix of eastern and western cultural influences in his work. Music and art are his passion, having studied sitar at the Kalavant Center for Music and Dance in New York. Music began to influence his artwork greatly in the form of mandala and fluidity in drawing styles. A lot of his artwork is made up from things around the house and discarded items repurposed in an art form.

Dinesh has a 20 year plus career as a Graphic/Web Designer and an active interest in Music. He has a understanding of different artforms and media. As well as the importance of cultural integration within communities and societies for them to thrive. He was an artist in residence at The Wilson Art Gallery and Museum in Cheltenham as part of the ‘We are Creators’ programme in 2023 and a member of their Creative Community Panel .

Dinesh as  Sitar player has been a member of the Cheltenham Improvisors Orchestra and a sitar teacher in Cheltenham.
