Chandra Kesh, also known as Dev Chandra, is an emerging artist whose evocative mountain

landscapes resonate with his profound and lifelong connection to nature. Born on May 3, 1993, in

Mungra Badshahpur, a district of Jaunpur in Uttar Pradesh, his passion for painting emerged in

childhood and eventually led him to the prestigious Faculty of Visual Arts at Banaras Hindu

University (B.H.U.), where he completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2014.

​

After graduation, life took him to Mumbai in search of financial stability. Immersed in the commercial

art world as a graphic designer, he honed his visual vocabulary and technical finesse. Yet, his heart

remained anchored to painting. Once stability was achieved, he returned to his true vocation with

renewed purpose—allowing the memories and stories of his grandmother to guide his artistic

journey.
