Painter Radha Parthasarathy, is a professor at Government College of Fine Arts, Kumbakonam. Her set of paintings called the “Drifting Hues” series, symbolises the flow of life through an aerial view of the shore landscape with boats dispersed to portray life. For her, the boats depict the uncertainty of life. She correlates it with the way her life flows – completely uncertain yet beautiful. There is a sense of calmness that makes the deep silence resonate from within. The aerial view helps us admire the beauty of life from afar with different colours.

Mr. Satheesh Kumar Mani is a sculptor and a professor at Government College of Fine Arts, Kumbakonam. As a person who was always fascinated by various sportive events like Jallikattu, Football and Handball – his works serve as an expression of the inbuilt inclination towards these sports and mythological stories and the butterflies represent the immense happiness he feels for the same.

Mr. Thirunavukkarasu, is a painter who aims to depict women engaging in dance, classical arts, music as nature cityscape. This abstract expression showcases his deeply routed love for the Indian Culture and also are deeply evocative.

Sculptor B. R. Ravi, is the principle of Government College of Fine Arts, Kumbakonam. The theme of his sculptures circles around nature and various components of it. His works done in copper sheets, captures and celebrates the subtle nuances of nature

Painter Velmurugan expresses the theme of depicting cows with moon. He claims to be influenced heavily by the work of Jackson Pollock and Mark Brandford and works with Textures as a tactile expression to bring his works to life. The feel of these textural elements transcends him to a state of emotional connection with his paintings and also to the viewers.

Mr. Muthu Krishnan is a surfacing artist in the animation industry. His works revolves around his personal admiration towards animals, birds, women and agriculture – which he represents using traditional aesthetics as a fantasy for his visual world.
