Mishael George

Mishael George is an artist based in Bangalore, where she lives and works from her home studio. She primarily works with acrylic paints, and also uses watercolours and colour pencils. After completing a degree in mass communication, she spent a summer painting full-time, which led her to pursue a four-year fine arts degree with a major in painting. She has been practicing her craft for over fifteen years and continues to paint every day as part of her routine. Her work is rooted in careful, hands-on making. Mishael builds her compositions slowly, often beginning with geometric patterns drawn by hand using a compass and ruler, before layering paint over them. She is drawn to acrylics for their flexibility and to watercolours for their depth and movement, sometimes finishing her paintings with gold detailing that catches light from different angles. Depending on the piece, a painting can take anywhere from a few days to several months to complete. Alongside original artworks, she also adapts her paintings into functional art objects, reflecting how people often like to live with art in everyday forms. ?? Bangalore
