Travel and Art Blogger 

Satish strongly believes that, like a writer, an artist needs powerful characters, themes and motifs for his work. Hence, for visual variety and experiences, he travels to different locations. 

He has drawn his inspirations from places he visited in France, Portugal, Mexico and India (and anything in between)  In these places, he finds subjects and objects that make his paintings.

In order to share his process and sources, he recently stated his blog and YouTube channel SatishFactory.
