I was interested in painting right from childhood. I was interested in colors, forms but eventually I became a technologist and painting and sculpture remained as mere hobby. I could not get any formal training in any form of art but my passion for painting remained. I did painting for my own pleasure. My love for old masters like Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Raja Ravi Varma and John Fernandes from the new generation prompted me to be interested in realistic painting. I love the beauty of texture strokes etc.more
