About your teaching artists

Swathi Madike: 

Swathi Madike’s oil paintings capture the beauty and luminosity of her subjects. She finds meaning in creating portraits that honour meaningful moments in people’s lives, exploring how people, culture, textiles and personal objects shape the stories we carry. As a South Asian artist, Swathi is committed to expanding representation for people of colour in contemporary portraiture.  

Alongside her studio practice, she has taught at the Victorian Artists Society, RMIT and other institutions. Her work has been recognised with the 2025 Exhibitors Award at the Victorian Artists Society and the 2021 Norma Bull Portrait Prize.  

 

Roshan Ramesh: 

Roshan Ramesh is an Australian artist of Tamil heritage, currently based in Southeast Melbourne. Their distinctive style, which centres around airbrush techniques, create hazy enigmatic visuals that evoke a sense of mystery and wonder. Blurring the lines between presence and absence, viewers are invited to question the reality before them.    

 

Raks Gowda: 

Raks is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice draws inspiration from Indian miniatures and Hindu temple architecture. Working across hand poke tattooing, clay, acrylic and oil painting, and written word, Raks weaves together story and dream, as a way to rekindle precolonial cultural narratives. Their work is a process of reconnection to oneself, each other and the land which honours ancestry, intuition, and the emotional landscapes we carry. 

Raks also works as one of the co-facilitators for Bunjil Place’s youth arts engagement program; Arts Agitators and is a passionate volunteer of Connection Art Space, an art-based organisation prioritising artists from CALD and underrepresented communities.
