Doha, Jul 4: Ganesh Kelagina Beedu Shenoy from Mangaluru, Karnataka has set a world record for his new artwork 'Most miniature paintings on a small paper card' through World Record Certification Limited, UK.
Ganesh always wanted to do something special in miniature/micro art. He did a study and came to know that there are few artists who have either created or broken world records by painting miniature art.
He painted 1156 miniature paintings on a small paper card measuring 17 cm X 17 cm, and each miniature painting measures 0.5 cm X 0.5 cm, setting the world record for most miniature paintings ever painted on a small paper card.
Last year Ganesh Shenoy had broken both Asia Record and India Record with his 1029 miniature paintings on an A4 size paper and had entered Asia Book of Records and India Book of Records. In 2019 he broke India and Asia record by painting 1,095 paintings on an A4 paper card. But he wanted to challenge himself and wanted to create a masterpiece which is the finest in the world. This is the main reason for his new recording-breaking work. In 2018 one of his paintings on Lord Jesus Christ was featured in 'L’Osservatore Romano' – newspaper of Vatican City.
He is the son of veteran artist and Lalit Kala Academy award winner Late Pundalik Shenoy. His mother Late Padmini Shenoy was also a noted artist. Right from childhood he was interested in painting and has secured many prizes/recognitions. Entering the Guinness Book of World Records is his dream and he has started working on a new project to make this dream a reality by 2021.
Ganesh Shenoy uses many mediums and styles while painting. His favourite styles are pointillism, Kinetic Pointillism, mosaic and expressionism. Ganesh has never sold his paintings for personal gain. He always donates his paintings to philanthropic organizations so that they can sell and utilize the proceedings for charity work.
Ganesh Shenoy works as HR Manager in Sodexo in Qatar. He has been residing with his wife, Arti Shenoy in Doha - Qatar for 13 years. His daughter, Anisha Shenoy pursues MBBS at KVG Medical College, Sullia, Karnataka.
