Santosh is a brilliant artist who has a unique style of drawing pictorial maps of the cities he loves. I feel so lucky to own one of his original paintings in my collection and looking forward to working with him for commissioned pieces of Melbourne and Bangalore which have particularly resonated well with me.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Santosh closely over the last 5 years and have witnessed his artistic journey transform professionally. I am a proud owner of the limited edition prints of Melbourne, Bangalore and Hawthorn paintings and cannot wait to collaborate closely with him on a commissioned original for Bombay in the 80s.

As a practicing dentist and avid art collector, I instantly saw a place for Santosh's artwork at my clinic in Blackburn. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Santosh on a commissioned piece of Blackburn and I cannot wait to see my patients, young and old, explore and interact with the icons representing Blackburn that Santosh has so meticulously selected following detailed research.

As someone with leadership roles in the arts sector for over 25 years across Victoria, the Northern Territory and South Australia, I strongly believe that Santosh is an emerging artist worth backing. His solo exhibition at the Box Hill Community Arts Centre was a resounding success and easily one of the most popular openings and exhibitions we have had in recent times. We are lucky to have Santosh in Box Hill and cannot wait to see where he goes next!
