Tanmay Kaushik Parashar was born in Varanasi, India in 1979. He is a self-taught abstract expressionist on a mission to ignite passion for colours.

"My style is the evocation of emotion through the interweaving of colours on canvas and aims to be to the eyes what enthralling music is to our ears. For me, my style is not the brush stroke or application technique of medium on canvas. It is the way that I use colour to express myself and the expression of my sense of self is imbued in my aesthetic."

A distinct aspect of his practice is use of a credit card. All lines on all the pieces are made using the edge of a credit card, one colored dab at a time. These pieces can have up to 60,000 individual dabs and can take a few weeks to complete.
