Biography:
For Prasanna, art is his passion where he is able to show the world his painting skills. At the early age of five, he found his first love which was art. It started when he was observing the sky to see how the clouds move. He loved to identify each of the cloud shapes resembled various figures to him and with that idea, he started to experiment with drawing by using chalk on the floor to draw these floating figures, turning ordinary clouds into lifelike animals. Witnessing his creativity, his mother encouraged him to continue and make more art. During his teenage years, we went on to work in Mumbai for ten years as a painter and made promotional posters for upcoming films. After ten years, he moved back to Coimbatore and worked as a self-employed artist while attending solo exhibitions and has been able to sell all of his work in both India and Malaysia. To his success, Prasanna states that he is “happy as a self-employed artist.”
Not defined or limited by what he can communicate by words or sound, Prasanna masterfully communicates his thoughts and interests and makes “noise” out of “silence” in his breathtaking paintings.
