Mahesh Karambele

Born: 14th September 1982

I’m an Indian contemporary artist based in Ratnagiri in Maharashtra.

For over 20 years, I’ve been working with acrylic on canvas — layer by layer, stroke by stroke. My practice is about resilience. About building something beautiful from broken brushes, failed experiments, and the quiet discipline of showing up every day.

My Work
My paintings live in the space between abstraction and memory. You’ll see cities, landscapes, light, and emotion — but never literally.
I work with texture, layering, and bold colour to talk about transitions: the moments between loss and hope, chaos and calm, past and future.
