Praddesh is a self taught artist with a Diploma in Photography. Born in Kannur, Kerala, India The faces, intricate patterns, flowers and light and shade are all brought together in Pradeesh K's works. The faces are portrayed in bold colors, melded with hues from the background. The colors are soft, but still seem to glow from the canvas, the masterful shading providing a contrast between the subject and the backdrop. Patterns are prevalent everywhere, the petals of the blooms and even carefully etched onto the subject herself. ART EDUCATION Diploma in photography (national institute of photography) Mumbai.
