Literature Literature

"I have picked up the imagery that surrounds me, the one I am born into and it comes naturally."

A self-taught artist, Badri Narayan had been creating symbols often referring to tradition. He was influenced by the Indian miniature tradition and his works draw a lot of reference from Indian mythology and culture. His narratives are stories that have been commonly cherished by the people here.
