Born in 1978 the artist completed his Diploma in painting with Distinction in 2002 and pursued Art teacher’s Diploma in 2003.
Following this he participated in innumerable group shows in Gujrat, Mumbai, Nagpur Hyderabad, Nepal, Cochin, Chennai, Jaipur, New Delhi, and Ahmedabad from 2000 till 2020. This apart he took part in several art camps across India.
From 2005 to 2019 he held 10 solo shows in Hutheesing art centre Ahmedabad and Gallery Beyond Mumbai ;2019- Artist centre Mumbai by gallery Beyond Mumbai. In 2015 - Bajaj Art Gallery, Mumbai; 2012 - Kalaneri Art Gallery Jaipur; 2010 - Gallery Beyond, Mumbai; 2009 -Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai and others.
He has won the Gujrat State Lalit Kala Academy Certificate in 2002 and in 2004 he won the 112th All India Art exhibition by the Bombay Art Society, Mumbai.
As an artist Manish he strives in meditation for communion with the absolute - a communion vouchsafed in rare flashes of blinding illumination. The experience indescribable in words, he evokes by painting in a slow, savoured process of rendering of a plant - a wild landscape or just some flora, his expression of the inner life of things and which could, in turn, assist the viewer’s quest for enlightenment.
There is a fine quality to his paintings be it a form or just a figure of a small bird peeping out from behind a leaf, almost ethereal. The delicate leaves looks like seen through a microscope displaying their thin thread like veins-fine and delicate. One is almost tempted to touch the canvas to feel the birds, the space, the leaves and feel the serenity and the sense of uninterrupted reverie avoiding monotony gentle changes from soft washes to firm brush strokes, from diaphanous forms to sharply focused details.
