Nivas Kanhere's artistic journey in abstract art is rooted in a strong academic foundation, starting with a Diploma in Art Education from the prestigious Sir J. J. School of Art, Mumbai, in 2012. This built upon a Government Diploma in Fine Art with First Class from Abhinav Kala Mahavidyalaya, Pune, in 2010, where he initially specialized in portraiture.
Nivas has received widespread recognition for his talent, including Gold Medals at the Manavsanket National Art Competition (2008) and Kalavart National Art (2008), along with numerous other awards at significant art festivals across India.
While initially specializing in portraiture, the artist seamlessly transitioned into abstract expression, drawing upon their deep understanding of form, color, and composition to create compelling non-representational works. Their art is a testament to an ongoing exploration of visual language, reflecting a nuanced perspective shaped by extensive education and experience.
Nivas's global presence continues to expand. His abstract pieces are highly sought after, with collections spanning the USA, Rome, Paris, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, Dubai, and across India.
