Ineesh was born in the vibrant city of Hyderabad to an artist couple. His parents, interesting artists , nurtured him in a world brimming with creativity and art. From the tender age of one, Ineesh started scribbling, an early sign of his innate talent.

By the age of four, he began to demand art supplies from his parents to express his creativity better. At five, he visited Shrishti Art Gallery with his father, a day that would change his life forever.

During the visit, Ineesh met the gallery's founder, late Ramani Nambier. Taken by her grandeur, he fearlessly asked her to exhibit his art. Charmed by his audacity, she asked him to submit a proposal.

Ineesh's boldness surprised his father. The young boy immediately measured the gallery's walls, his seriousness leaving his dad in awe. This event marked an unforgettable moment in his artistic journey.

Ineesh's art mostly consisted of drawings. Once, he created canvas paintings that gave a new twist to the English alphabets. His extraordinary creations were more than just drawings; they were a reflection of his imaginative prowess.

Another time, he created more than 20 black and white acrylic paintings using canvases he received from his father. One of these captivating pieces was purchased by an American man named Jhon, marking Ineesh's first sale.

In 2019, Ineesh and his parents visited the magical city of Rome, where he participated in a performance at MACRO ASILO. It was an incredible experience that introduced him to new dimensions of art.

However, his journey wasn't all smooth. Being an only child brought Ineesh feelings of solitude that led to psychological struggles. Yet, he found solace in his cousins Arun and Lokin, whom he frequently interacted with.

After high school, he faced peer pressure and confusing emotions, evident in his sudden outbursts and tears. His friends' aspirations in medicine and engineering perplexed him, and he switched his admissions twice, from mathematics to arts.

This struggle inspired him to create more immersive art as a personal therapy. Over time, he turned to AI art, channeling his pent-up frustrations and feelings into his work. His art became a cathartic outlet, each stroke revealing his emotional journey.

His first upcoming solo show, "I-QUEST," at the Goethe-Zentrum in Hyderabad, was symbolic of this personal journey. Ineesh's art was not just drawings on canvas; it was his heart and soul poured out, a testament to the power of passion and resilience. It's a beginning of his Quest to find himself, a journey has just began
