Artists Prasad Beaven

The catalyst of Prasad Beaven’s art is nature; his watercolours are the result of his intricate relationship with the world around him. Growing up in the Himalayan foothills left a lasting imprint on his perception of nature, fostering a profound reverence within him. This strong connection to the natural world finds its expression in his artwork, which functions as a testament to his lifelong quest for an idyllic realm.

As a practitioner of meditation, Beaven emphasises the importance of inner well-being and strives to constantly achieve a state of peace. This is a peace which permeates, flows, and courses into the brushstrokes of his work. 

In his artistic endeavours, Prasad consistently seeks to strike a delicate balance between form and abstraction. This balance is of utmost importance to him as it enables the elicitation of an imaginative response from the viewer, inviting them to fill in the spaces subtly suggested within his creations.

While completing a Master in Traditional Arts, Beaven discovered Chinese Landscape Painting. The philosophical grounding of his chosen genre acted as a significant artistic revelation for him. Since graduating in 2021 and winning the prestigious Ciclitera prize Beaven has also exhibited at Mall Galleries, the Affordable Art Fair in London and Fabriano Watercolour 2022 and most recently at Start Art at Saatchi Gallery.
