| About the Artist |
I am a self taught artist who has recently left behind a 20 year long career in Advertising. I used to be a Copywriter.

10 artists have already held exhibitions at my gallery.
The name of my art facility is: SAMKRUT ART SCHOOL & GALLERY |

Hanging House,Masinagudi
2005 Oil on canvas 76.2 cm X 55.8 cm |
|
This is a ramshackle little cottage built at the edge of a cliff. It is a hut of a poor farmer, there is no electricity or any amenity.
What caught my attention was the way it seems as if the house itself is hanging! And Living on the Edge! |
Hill path, Vythiri (India)
2004 Oil on Canvas 61 cm X 40.6 cm |
|
One misty morning I was walking up this road in Vythiri, a hill town in Kerala. Saw a carpet of Orange-red flowers looking like a carpet in the middle of a forest of green |
Huckleberry Fields
2004 Oil on Canvas 61 cm X 46 cm |
|
Glowing red Huckleberry Fields in Washington State (USA). Made from a reference photo sent by my friend John Cuevas who commissioned this painting |
Deer Outpost
2005 Oil on Canvas 76.2 cm X 50.8 cm |
|
This cheetal (Indian Deer) was at an unusual watchpost when I chanced upon it one morning in January 2000. I just managed to click a picture with my Nikon and then I quietly walked away without disturning this beautiful animal.
6 years later, I have made an Oil painting of it. And this is my first attempt at painting wildlife. I am normally a landscape artist

| Education and biography |
I am a Postgrad in Communication & Journalism. Worked in the advertising industry for 20 years, as a copywriter.
Art has been entirely self taught. I never had an opportunity to even get private lessons in Art!
In tandem with my decision to leave my past career behind, and get involved completely in Art, I founded SAMKRUT Art School & Gallery in Bangalore in order to offer an opportunity to several art enthusiasts who would love to do Art, but have no access to a Teacher or have the time for it.
