About
Born in a village nestled on the banks of the Godavari River, I was surrounded by stunning natural beauty and a rich cultural heritage. The river's winding course, picturesque surroundings, lush green fields, and joyous rural life left an indelible mark on my artistic mind. As I explored the temple premises, riverbanks, and fields, the artistic seed within me germinated and blossomed, unbeknownst to me.
The ancient, exquisite sculptures in the village's temples drew me in with an inexplicable, deep fascination, beyond mere visual Appreciation. This fascination and fondness led me to the realm of art. By chance, my subsequent artistic grooming took place amidst the incredible, world-renowned Verul-Ajanta caves. My fascination was satiated, and my art began to take shape.
To deepen my understanding of nature, culture, and human life, I delved into Indian history, art, and aesthetics. Consequently, my paintings evolved to become more beautiful, emotional, and thought-provoking. Over time a style has evolved that weaves rhythmic lines, soothing colors, and fluid brushstrokes to transform reality into a mystical and beautiful experience. Through these paintings, I have shared my experiences of rural life's beauty and diverse cultural aspects, and this has become my life's purpose.
May these paintings become a part of people's homes and bring them soulical bliss. This gives my life meaning.
