I want my works to communicate the interconnectedness that every living & non-living beings share. We experience this connection in one way or another, and we all co-exist meaningfully and beautifully.

Contact us.Venkatesh Balasubramaniam (b. 1978) is a Chennai-based painter. His practice explores perception, image-making and the instability of what we see.
He trained at the Government College of Fine Arts, Chennai, earning a BFA (1998) and MFA (2001) in Painting. In 1996 he co-founded Genesis, Madras Art Moment, a collective of five Chennai artists. Early recognition included the Tamil Nadu Arts and Crafts Award for Painting (1994) and State Awards for Pen and Ink Drawing (1995) and Painting (1997). From 1998 to 2011 he also created commissioned murals, paintings, sculpture and mixed-media works with architects, interior designers and private clients. His works are held in collections in India and abroad.
His current work is made in two stages. First, he builds a painting in thick layers of acrylic with palette knives, letting gesture, scraping and chance shape the surface. Then, once the painting looks finished, he cuts it into strips and fragments and reassembles them into a new composition. The original is not destroyed. It lives inside the new image, transformed but not erased.
The paintings sit between recognition and uncertainty. They don’t ask for the right interpretation. They ask what happens when we look again.
This series, What You See Is What You See?, was shown in “Living in Interesting Times: 30 Years of Genesis” at Gallery Veda, Chennai (2026).
