Artist Reshidev RK’s digital world is surreal, layered, and complex. The bright, vivid colours lure you in and the complex characters urge you to stay and read beneath the layer, almost hypnotic. There’s undoubtedly an element of fantasy in his works, but what strikes you is how true to reality his works are. “Life inspires me, but I infuse it with a little bit of fantasy,” the artist puts it succinctly.
Born in Kannur in Kerala, based in Portland, Reshidev draws inspiration from the world around him. His unique work is inspired by contemporary discourses and rendered in the colourful style of his home state. He followed his passion for art, which eventually led him to his current assignment as a Senior Designer at the Global Headquarters of Weiden & Kennedy. Reshidev has also created quite a ripple in the NFT market. Of the 14 artworks he has created so far, Reshidev has already sold 12. Kerala, its landscape, architecture, folklore, and people, is omnipresent in his visual narratives.
In a candid chat, Reshidev talks about his hometown, his inspiration, and his journey so far…
