His paintings are vibrant in their colours and delve into the mystery of nature, influenced strongly by Madhubani art.
Vizag’s Ravi Kattakuri has consistently amazed audiences with his artwork – collections of paintings and drawings that are bright, complex, and influenced by the traditional Madhubani art.
Even then, he has added his own elements, telling The Better India, “My work captures dreams, which are colourful, simple and evocative. I also try to capture the spirit of rural and urban India in all its glory.”
His work has been featured in several exhibitions across India, from the Indian Art Festival in Delhi to the Lalit Kala Academy in Chennai. Ravi also became the only Indian invited to the Lakkos International Art and Culture Exchange Programme in Heraklion, Greece!
His art is full of vibrant colours and depictions of nature and human emotions.
“There is a sense of mystery all around in nature in all its beauty and glory. I have tried to capture these aspects in my works.”, Ravi explains.
Here is a look at some of his beautiful work!
