Dibin Thilakan (b. 1989) is a visual artist from Thrissur, Kerala, whose work draws on personal memory, folklore, and the stories told to him by his grandmother as a child. He later collaborated with a Latin American theatre group, an experience that shaped his interest in gesture, narrative, and the human figure.

His paintings, worked in gouache, watercolour, and natural Japanese pigments on paper, are populated by sinewy, dreamlike figures set against swirls of colour, moving between everyday village life and surreal, spiritual enquiry. Pregnant women, goddesses, and images of birth recur throughout his work, drawing from what he describes as an unending feminine source.
