I am Shaikes John, an artist, curator, and art advisor based in Bangalore, India, specializing in abstract and contemporary art with a touch of surrealism. With a Fine Arts degree and over 25 years of experience spanning art, creative direction, and UX design, my journey reflects a seamless blend of artistic passion and professional expertise. My work, primarily in oil and acrylic, explores abstract forms and contemporary themes, creating thought-provoking and emotionally resonant pieces. Beyond the canvas, I have served as a Creative Director for multinational corporations and advertising agencies, where I combined creative vision with strategic leadership. As a curator, I excel in identifying and showcasing exceptional art while fostering meaningful connections between artists and audiences. Over the years, I have participated in several art exhibitions, sharing my creations and contributing to the art community. Additionally, I guide collectors in acquiring meaningful pieces through my role as an art advisor. I believe in letting my work speak for itself, and through my unique approach, I strive to inspire, provoke thought, and celebrate the transformative power of art.
