In my early days of the '80s, I recall travelling from Saidapet to Cholamadal Artist's Village with my father, senior Artist M. Senathipathi, on a motorcycle.

I got an opportunity to interact with Cholamadal Artists who lived and worked in their studios. Our family shifted to Cholamandal when I was studying 7th grade.

This Cholamandal environment and my father's studio encouraged me to start art. I started practising in the early '90s with the guidance of my father. Whenever I got holidays and free time, I painted abstract forms in different mediums like watercolour on paper and acrylic on handmade paper and canvas.

I have created a Tribal Village series and a Dream Series. I am creating metal reliefs (Repousse) in the same subject as well as a Mythology series. My works have been shown in all major exhibitions in India and are in collections in India and abroad
