AUTHENTICATION

Includes a Certificate of Authenticity

During my studies of four year Diploma course at Kalakshetra Foundation Collage of Fine Arts, Chennai, I had the opportunity to have (late) Prof. S. Dhanapal as my Guru and acquired adequate theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of painting. He used to interact with the students about the centuries old works of Great Artists and different methods adopted by them namely paintings of reality, Impressionism, Expressionism, and also eminent Artist of last/current centuries who have created modern techniques like Cubism and Contemporary Abstracts. On completion of my studies in 1999, I was mainly using pallet knives in doing landscapes in impressionistic style in different mediums like Oil, Acrylic and also brush works in Water color. thereafter, while doing works for submission consequent on my selection for Junior Fellowship during 2002 – 2004, I had fully engaged myself in doing different types of land/sea/mountainscapes in semi-realistic forms with the help of pallet knives and scraping the parts of trees, bushes, and shrubs. During my travel in the field of Art for the past nine years, presently I am doing Abstracts given the Name “Woven Hues Series” in Acrylic on Canvas with special tools in Impasto technique in my own innovative style with different colors in layers giving importance to space and textures
