Artist Ramesh Kainila born May, 1963, in Travancore (Now Trivandrum), India. He lived in Trivandrum and began using the city rural areas as his canvas, making charcoal drawings for his school teachers. His art was eventually seen everywhere around the city from public wall paintings to galleries and museums around the world.

In the 1970s he began to develop his personal style, creating portraits that showed the influence of Realism. During the 1980s he became a huge follower of Impressionism, with his work becoming more dreamlike in nature, but he later changed when he became focused on new ways to express the human form. Influenced by the medieval paintings, his reproduction paintings resonated with the atmosphere of suffering and pain of great historic moments, and they were soon highly sought after. Kainila's work continued to evolve in the 1980s and 1990s, during which time he also produced an extensive series of portraits and provided for numerous exhibitions around the city. After receiving several awards, honors and, Kainila still continue his journey with passion & love towards realism and Impressionism.
