Birdseye Bangalore captures the essence of a city we hold dear - a city where heritage isn't just about preserving buildings but honouring memories. Through Santosh's art, we are reminded of the spontaneity and familiarity that once defined Bangalore, inviting us to see beauty not only in what remains but in the stories of what has changed. His work inspires a deeper appreciation for our heritage and a renewed commitment to protecting Bangalore's soul for generations to come.
Capturing the essence of a place with a single canvas
Santosh’s art is a visual celebration of cityscapes and landscapes inspired from the vibrant, cultural and colourful places he has been fortunate to call home or visit. The collection is divided into three geographic groups – ‘Home’ showcases the essence of his current residence in Melbourne and Australia, ‘Origins’ celebrates his upbringing in India and ‘Experiences’ unveils a compelling visual narrative of global destinations.
” Through my art, I aim to convey two key messages. First, I want each piece to evoke a unique emotion in my collectors, reflecting the feelings I experienced during the creation process. On a deeper level, I want to draw attention to the finer details of a place – the shapes, patterns, and textures that hold often-overlooked stories. By drawing attention to these elements, I hope to inspire greater awareness and appreciation, ultimately sparking efforts to preserve these treasures for future generations.” – Santosh Mahale
