Ramesh Mahalingam

Ramesh Mahalingam has had a lifelong passion for art - it runs in the family - from his grandfather to his aunt, sister and cousins, passion for the arts has been a common thread running through the family.

Ramesh has a Master’s degree from the University of Michigan.. He worked in PepsiCo Inc. in the USA for 15 years in various levels. He then returned back to India - to his roots. In India he set up a packaging manufacturing unit. Now retired, he now has the time to devote to his passion – painting.

Ramesh did not have a formal education in arts. He is basically self -taught. Just watching other artists and their works of art has inspired Ramesh to teach himself the basic concepts and techniques used by professional artists.

Ramesh has successfully conducted several exhibitions of Chis paintings, along with his sister Rama Balakrishnan. The exhibitions were grand successes. The proceeds of the sale of paintings at the exhibitions were donated to charity.

Ramesh dabbles in all art forms, acrylic, watercolours, pencil sketches as well as multi-media works. All of these came out of his personal interest and passion in the field.
