Originally from India and now based in Invercargill, Ashwin Gogate brings a vibrant perspective to the Southland arts community. A passionate watercolour artist, Ashwin’s work is alive with colour, detail, and a distinctive sense of flair. His paintings capture both the delicacy and dynamism of the medium, celebrating its ability to blend spontaneity with control.

Through his practice, Ashwin aims to share joy, vibrancy, and a piece of his heritage while continuing to explore new inspirations in his adopted home.
