T .VAIKUNTAM paintings

"I like using rich primary colours, which give a sense of character and depth to my paintings. Like reds and saffron and even orange, because these are essentially Indian colours. I dont like using colours that are mix of two, because they are not natural, they dont exist in surroundings around us, in our everyday life."

He portrays women as sensual and voluptuous. The colours used to paint women give them a vibrant and decorative, look.

T. Vaikuntam hails from Andhra Pradesh, in South India, and draws a lot of inspiration for his work from the rural areas of the state

. The men and women of his village have often been depicted in his work. Women, in particular, are frequent subjects for his works

The male form appears remarkably calm, with a sense of humour. His work has a distinct rural flavour. In his work, he uses only primary colours. Most of his work is in tempera and watercolour, on paper.

No other better use of these Bottles

Can anybody think what would have happen to these poor bottles in the bhangarwala's shop that day, if I have not gone there and purchase these poor things from him for Rs.5/- each.

Now they are standing in elegance. Showing off there figure to all of you.As if wearing a designer Saree and going out for a party.Don't you think we do injustice on these item's by just
ignoring them and throwing away.

I have requested all my friends and relatives to get me these kind of bottles if they notice anywhere.Already few of them have contributed in this madness but never mind just ignore those looks and support for good cause.

Hands on plates and tiles

You can experiments on any surface when you know how to paint.
So I did on tiles.While we were renovating our new house many

unwanted tiles were kept aside and that hit my mind .

I thought of painting them.
The horse, hanging of birds and the flowers is the creation from waste.



we can hang them or I have kept them on the stand.Acrylic colours and

the 3D out liner gives them a dimension.

Again if you are bored with the designs

remove the earlier and redraw again.

Similarly always I saw these kind of hangings in movies or in

interior magazines,and thought of getting them.

But I got these plates and just painted them as per my

ideas and happy with the results.

We can present these articles to our friends on there

special occasions.

It can be personalized gifts too.
