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.
