Satish is a painter, printmaker and sculptor. His current paintings are executed in the distinctive mixed media style that he first began exploring in the early 1970s; they feature textured surfaces with a three-dimensional appearance. His distinctly personal vision reached full fruition with his Light Series of 1981, in which he first fully addressed the abstract elements of light, color and texture. These pieces were first seen at his 1981 solo exhibition at the Bronx Museum of the Arts.
