Notes


About
Born in the southwestern Indian state of Karnataka, Mahesh Baliga has cultivated a body of painted work that explores the range of human emotion and perception. Today, he lives and works in Vadodara, India, where he documents with emotional resonance quotidian and often overlooked moments.
Over the years, Baliga has developed the use of casein tempera—a quick-drying paint derived from milk protein—in paintings of all sizes. Though the artist has described his chosen medium as unpredictable, Baliga deliberately incorporates this mutability into his painting practice. “Traditionally, the colour is made earlier and these things are arranged before the painting is begun,” explains Baliga. “But I don’t do that. I mix the colours as I am painting.... It’s as if I start with a premonition of how things will go, but the feeling world of the painting has its own language, which will not listen to my predictions. This means that you have to initiate a dialogue with the colour.”


Education
2005 BFA from C.A.V.A., Mysore University, Karnataka, India
2007 Postgraduate diploma in painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts, M.S. University, Vadodara, India
