ABOUT SELLER

When I Draw, I See. When I See, I Become. My Art is a subconscious expression of both inner and outer seeing.

I am a Chennai based Artist.

My passion for art , animation and illustration predates my love for Computers and goes as far back as I can remember.

Somewhere in the early 90s, I had set aside my love for art while pursuing a career in technology, and was very disinterested in art for quite a long while. Around year 2000, while living in the United States, I accidentally discovered Kimon Nicholaides’s writings, whose approach and teachings changed the way I understood art and it set me on a road of discovery.

After a good number of years working with computers, sometime in 2011, I decided to reduce my time with computers and spend more time on the things I love at a more leisurely fashion.

My approach to art is that Nature provides inspiration and experience and Art enables and enhances the experiences of life. The impressions that life leaves in terms of visual and other sensory input, acts as an ingredient to create unique expressions. I have been painting more in recent years, and the current collection is a mix of representational works which are direct reaction to nature as well as experimental non objective works.

Several influences include Pissaro, Cezzane, Vermeer and am very intrigued by the writings and works of Wassily Kandinsky and Hans Hoffman.

My art tries to focus on the essence and energy and movement and attempts to captures the total all at once spontaneously.
