This show was inaugurated on 8th October 2025 by Honourable Guest – Prakash Bal Joshi(Veteran Visual Artist), in the presence of Dr. Sanjay Bhide ( Founder, Convenor and secretary TACCI), Mukesh Parpiani(Legendary Photojournalist) among others.
A science graduate, a career banker, Sateesh’s creative pursuits have spanned decades, guided in his formative years by veterans such as M. S. Joshi and Prabhakar Kolte. His transition from painting to photography feels seamless; both disciplines share in his intuitive engagement with light, texture, and the quiet drama of surfaces.
Active in the Indian and international art scene since 2003, Sateesh has exhibited in venues such as the Birla Academy (Mumbai), Bajaj Art Gallery, Monalisa Kalagram (Pune), and Jehangir Art Gallery (Mumbai), as well as online juried exhibitions in Dubai and the United States. His interdisciplinary sensibility also extends to publishing, notably, a book of thirty Marathi poems paired with his paintings and photographs, and the design of Aflatoon Mumbai, published by Granthali.
Sateesh’s photography reflects an acute painter’s eye for form and balance. His approach aligns closely with the Japanese Wabi-Sabi aesthetic, valuing impermanence, irregularity, and the marks of time, yet he adapts this sensibility to an Indian urban and material context. The corroded wall, the fractured reflection, or the softened light on a weathered surface become meditations on how time sculpts beauty. Rather than documenting decay, his images transform it into a language of resilience and luminous transformation. Through this disciplined attentiveness, Sateesh positions his work as a contemplative counterpoint to contemporary visual excess, reaffirming that the act of seeing . . . measured . . . patient and perceptive . . . remains one of the most profound artistic gestures.
