Shamsudheen Thayada

Painter

I grew up in a village surrounded by woods, cave marks, and streams, and those memories still shape how I paint.

The works come from real places and felt experiences: landscape, water, silence, and the traces people leave behind. I use earthy colour, texture, and simple forms to make paintings that feel quiet, open, and alive.
