Dinesh Doshi

Dinesh Doshi is a New York-based artist originally from Africa, with over 40 years of experience. He primarily works with oil, acrylic, and mixed media, creating a unique style characterized by ambidextrous, free-flowing color strokes that combine abstract and figurative elements. This approach allows for spontaneity and emotional expression in his art.

Dinesh is inspired by the quote, “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see,” by Edgar Degas, which resonates deeply with his artistic journey. He follows the principle of living in the moment, letting his emotions and experiences flow freely into his work. An unusual source of inspiration for him comes from the vivid colors and intricate patterns found in traditional African textiles, which have influenced his artistic palette.

he most challenging piece he has created is “Ethereal Visions,” which pushed his technical skills to their limits due to its complex layering and emotional depth. For emerging artists, Dinesh advises embracing spontaneity and allowing their experiences to shape their art, emphasizing that authenticity is key to connecting with the audience.
