Rishik S. Vishwanathan is 18 years old. Based in London, England, he has been drawing and painting since the age of 4. He sketches from memory with oil based markers directly onto canvas and uses acrylic paint.
Rishik was 7 when his watercolour and pen painting of "A Rhino on the Alert" was first auctioned by Singapore based animal welfare organisation ACRES at their annual charity gala night, raising money for the animals.
​
He has a passion for drawing animals and has worked in collaboration with numerous charities and organisations in the UK, USA, India and Singapore over the years.

Rishik Vishwanathan is a rare talent. He has such promise that he sold paintings even as a young teenager. My family is the proud possessor of two of Rishik’s pencil sketches of my granddaughter, aged 2 and 3. They will remind us of the baby girl’s bubbly personality brought out so vividly in Rishik’s drawings.
