I grew up in Trichur, Kerala, famous for its many temple festivals. For a child, Kerala is one of the best places to develop as an artist. Stunning landscapes that blossom quite naturally on your canvas the moment you dip your brush in paint surround one !so it was, I guess, natural to move to Thiruvananthapuram to my Bachelor’s in Fine Arts, and equally logical to move from the extreme south to Delhi for my Master’s! As an artist, exhibitions are an essential part of life. Solo and group shows have been regular since those college “chai-samosa” days. Shows that brought friends and critics to my studio, with appreciation and suggestions, alike they continued to inspire my experiments with figures. Some of my creative out pourings have adorned their homes and offices. Quite a few have become friends. But most others have a part of me – for a true painter is as attached to his works as he is to his children. Even though I don’t know them as intimately as I would have liked. Living and working in Bangalore, I suppose just doesn’t permit me the time to get to know all my aficionados. Perhaps in another time, another place I wistfully think, perhaps I will know them eventually, perhaps not yet I am content a part of me lives with them.
