Artist Say

I am artist, basically from Yavatmal town, Maharashtra, born in 1963. From my child hood I was interested in Paintings. My interest in art o¬nly guided me, to take Painting as a carrier. I was always guided & encouraged by my elder brother Shashikant, A well-known photographer in, Chennai.

I completed B.FA from Nagpur School of Arts (Govt.), Nagpur, Maharashtra. In search of some new experience & exposure, I came to Cholamandal Artist village, Chennai. There I started growing & developing with my painting. I worked o¬n WINDOW, an abstract expression of feeling & experience. This lyricism leads to evolution in architectural forms, as it was very fascinating to express the play of light o¬n architectural forms, I continue wi\orking o¬n this. My abstraction is the linear configuration o¬n the surface. The linear matrix spreads vertically. Colors are the most fascinating aspect in my works. There is still more to work & grow.
