I started sketching as a hobby during my student days. Later, I was fully involved in art and finally decided to start my career as a full-time artist against the will of my family members. In 1964 joined in a local ART SCHOOL to learn the preliminary lessons in oil painting. By this time, I found good maturity in drawing and painting. At this time, I started painting portraits and decided to make it my profession as I could manage to bring good likeness in each portrait I did.
In 1975, I moved to Madras (Chennai) to start my career as a portrait artist. Soon, I enrolled me as a member in all the leading Libraries like Adyar Library, British Council Library, American Library and Max Muller Bhavan Library. These libraries had a vital role in making me a full-fledged artist with more knowledge. Also, I got the good opportunity of meeting nice people like Major Srikanth ( A.D.C. to Governor), R. Ramakrishnan ( Sheriff of Madras), Justice. P.R. Gokula Krishnan, M.G. Balasubramanian ( I.A.S. Retd ), M. Gopala Krishnan ( Ex. Chairman, Indian Bank), Justice. K Venkataswami (Supreme Court Judge) and friends like A. Ramachandran ( I.O.B ). They all have been highly helpful in shaping my career. I am grateful for them for their valued contribution for the growth of my career. I am glad to add here that many prestigious Institutions and prominent citizens include in the list of my clients. (see below)
Recently, in 2006, I got the wonderful opportunity to meet the Governor H.E. Shri. Surjit Singh Barnala at Raj Bhavan and paint a portrait of His Excellency. He was so kind to respond to my request to visit my studio to see the completed portrait and the other paintings. This is a moment in my life-time. I take it as rare honour and recognition to my services in the field portrait painting.
Again, in 2007, I received a personal letter from H.E asking me to do a portrait of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam for Raj Bhavan. " You have done a wonderful job" was his comment when I showed the completed portrait.
Here, I take this opportunity to express my profound sense of gratitude to His Excellency for the kind gesture and concern he has for me and my art . ______________________________________________
