Shanmuk artistic practice combines introspective themes with architectural and structural imagery. Omitting the human figure, his work reflects on urban alienation, memory, and the psychological dimensions of space. His layered surfaces and obstructed grids reinterpret built environments, offering visual critiques of modern life and urban transformation. Through this abstraction, he explores how environments shape perception and internal states.
