Life of Suresh Choudhary

When I am not in my Studio.....

Artists are not just artists in front of a canvas you will find that with their creative consciousness they transform the very things they lay their hands on. The paper becomes beautiful with the colors on them and with these colors the walls can speak to you.

Artist Chiru Chakravarty

Master of the Apocalypse, Chiru Chakravarty takes us to the horror of this world where war and brutality is an everyday reality.

Chiru gives free expression to the observations of his searching eye, critical mind and to his developed faculty of imagination. His themes seem to have the same quality of Goya in ‘Los disasters de la Guerra'.

Artist Yasala Balaiah

I lived in villages being a teacher. From my childhood, I saw specially farmers and workers who were working in their fields. As they were planting, harvesting, cutting their fields. I am painting with that subject. I have painted so many modern paintings with this subject I used to send for competitions. I have got so many awards in all India level competitions. I have taken the rustic life of Telangana culture and also heritage of rural life.

Artist Laxman Aelay

Laxman Aelay was a much sought after and admired designer and illustrator in the Telegu literary circles; he did his work to earn a living. Before this he even painted signboards. However, the creative artist in him, compelled him to undergo a regular study of painting. Hence, he joined the College of Fine Arts at Hyderabad and after that he took up full time free-lance painting. His paintings are nostalgic depictions of the rural miliea in which he grew up. The lives of people in his poverty striken village, Kadirenigudem, a hamlet in Nalgonda district, near Hyderabad, has so far been the source of his inspiration.

Artist Sengupta Siddhartha

An Artist in quest of inner life

To express in joyful moments, derived from an intense feeling of bliss in order to remember them, from a deep endeavour, I sought to depict them. My love to colour, brush and paper results from the effort to prove my skill. Thus, at first I liked to play with water colour. I was deeply influenced by the holy meditation of my parents during their daily worship. The mild flame of lamp and the scented fume of resin drew my thoughts to an unknown holy and obscure world that ultimately dissolved in the deep blue sky.

Artist Milon Mukherjee

Born in Calcutta, the City of Joy, Milon Mukherjee epitomizes creative spirit of Bengal.

Artist Shireesh Dharap

Dr. Shireesh Dharap has maintained his interest in painting through the years of undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. He is a true nature lover, studying the art and science of nature. He is a keen bird watcher with an avid interest in the field of botany and geology. It is but natural, therefore, that this love for nature is expressed in his art. He mainly points landscapes, as also some still life. He concentrates on interpretation, simplification and representation of scenes from nature and houses in harmony with nature.

Artist Vasudeo Kamath

Vasudeo Kamath , paints his heart out on canvas. He feels what he sees; his sketches feel what he sees, his brush strokes feel what he sees and when the painting becomes 'saakar' we feel what he sees. His painting speak, we hear. They tell a story, we listen.

Artist Chandramohan Kulkarni

Chandramohan Kulkarni is a renowned illustrator with exquisite paper jackets
and elegant line drawings to his credit. He does not work in a rut but always
breaks into new ways and line rhythms. His illustrations to the Marathi
translations by Mangesh Padgaonkar of Shakespeare's plays, Tempest,
Julius Caesar and Romeo Juliet are highly stylized specimens of his originality
and skill in illustrative art. He can well rest on his present laurels but
he is blessed with a kind of divine discontent which is the hallmark of original
talent that is ever seeking its own total identity.
