Abhishek is an Indian artist based in Berlin who paints oil works exploring solitude, introspection, and emotional duality through abstracted, layered landscapes. Influenced by Matthew Wong, Van Gogh, and Kandinsky, his paintings reimagine loneliness as a space for reflection, transformation, and new emotional possibilities
“That shiny object” is a metaphor for the deepest, often unspoken desires that pull us forward. In the painting, the abstract figure swims toward what appears to be the reflection of a full moon—yet the moon itself is absent from the sky. This visual contradiction unsettles the viewer, prompting an inquiry: What do we chase when we chase desire? T
he piece blurs the boundary between what is real and what is imagined, suggesting that our longings can project their own illusions, shimmering just convincingly enough to compel us. It invites contemplation on the nature of aspiration, illusion, and truth—on whether the things we pursue are genuine lights or simply reflections cast by the mind. In relation to the other works, it bares naked a realisation that to desire is to render oneself lonely.

Abhishek is an Indian artist based in Berlin, working primarily in oil painting. His practice explores solitude, introspection, and emotional duality through layered compositions and imagined landscapes. Rooted in personal experience, his work reflects a lifelong sense of being an outsider and a persistent search for belonging, finding moments of solace in nature and inner reflection.
Loneliness, for Abhishek, is not only a state of loss but a transformative human condition—one that invites awareness, reflection, and change. Influenced by artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Matthew Wong, Yayoi Kusama, Kandinsky, and Mondrian, his paintings often center on a solitary figure within abstracted landscapes, where color and form replace literal space. By borrowing and extending visual languages from these precedents, Abhishek seeks to carry them forward, offering new landscapes in which loneliness is reimagined not as despair, but as a site of introspection and possibility.
