Jonathan Avinash Victor is a Singapore-based artist who works mainly with acrylic, ink and graphite. An art collector, he met veteran Malaysian artist Jeganathan Ramachandran in the early 2000s, who inspired him to paint.
He apprenticed under Jega in 2019 before completing an advanced painting course at La Salle College of the Arts (Singapore). He won the Contemporary Art Category prize from the Indian Council for Cultural Relations in 2020.
The year 2022 was the first time his works were exhibited in New York (Van Der Plas Gallery), London (Boomer Gallery) and Singapore (Selegie Arts Centre).
A principal theme in Jonathan’s work is the nature of the subconscious and the stories held within the mind. His works express a human’s search for meaning and beauty.
