Santhosh Poruvazhy

Santhosh Poruvazhy, a gifted fine art artist and devoted creative art teacher from Kerala, India, embodies the spirit of an artist whose work transcends borders. A distinguished alumnus of the Govt. Raja Ravi Varma College of Fine Arts, Mavelikara, he completed an intensive five-year diploma in fine arts, shaping the foundation for his remarkable journey in the world of art.

From his earliest days, Santhosh demonstrated a rare artistic brilliance, excelling in competitions from school level to prestigious state exhibitions. His mastery of technique is matched by his dedication to nurturing talent—an ethos that has defined his 17 years in Bahrain, where he built a global network of students through online exhibitions, workshops, and creative mentorship.

Santhosh’s art is deeply rooted in Indian cultural identity yet speaks a universal visual language. The works featured here capture his ability to weave emotion, narrative, and technical mastery into a seamless whole. Whether it’s the meditative serenity of a Buddha portrait, the intricate details of traditional subjects, or the evocative realism of his figurative paintings, Santhosh’s brushwork reveals a medley of precision and soulful depth.

His global presence is impressive—his paintings have travelled far and wide, gracing exhibitions in France, the USA, Canada, South Africa, England, Jordan, Singapore, the Philippines, and Jamaica. This international recognition was further cemented when his biography and works were featured in a prestigious art book published in Azerbaijan, alongside artists from 28 countries.

For Santhosh, art is not just creation—it is connection. Each stroke of his brush is an invitation to pause, reflect, and immerse oneself in the emotions that lie beneath the surface. Through his paintings, he bridges cultures, generations, and artistic traditions, offering viewers an experience that is at once deeply personal and universally resonant.

At Inkroot Studio, we are proud to showcase Santhosh’s artistry—an inspiring blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and global vision. His works are not just to be viewed, but to be felt.
