Shankar Pamarthy
Shankar Pamarthy has a profound appetite for surrealism, skillfully blending distortion and fantasy to create dreamlike imagery that reveals unseen aspects of humanity. His works often transcend realism, capturing both the spirit and complexity of the human condition.
His art employs satire, symbolism, and exaggeration as refined tools to interpret people, culture, and society. From public figures to everyday life, he transforms personalities into thought-provoking visuals that speak with universal resonance.
With a special focus on the common man, his visual narratives reflect social realities while celebrating life’s nuances. By merging imagination with commentary, Pamarthy elevates illustration into a powerful artistic medium of dialogue and reflection
