ABOUT ARTIST THOTA VAIKUNTAM
Thota Vaikuntam, living in Hyderabad, master in figurative art, has done his Diploma in painting from the College Of Fine Arts, Hyderabad and then won the State Lalit Kala Academi's Fellowship to study printmaking and painting at M.S.University, Baroda. He finds his inspiration in the rural men and women who are the central characters of his paintings. Vaikuntam loves to paint colorful and elaborately dressed rural figures.
Vaikuntam’s art has a sense of strength to it, a power that emanates from the paint or charcoal that he applies to the surface, from his controlled lines, and from the fine strokes that he executes. He generally uses only primary colours, as he believes that composite colours do not exist in nature and are therefore, unnatural.
He has won several awards like the National Award, 1993, Hyderabad Arts Society award in 1973 and Bharat Bhavan Biennale award in 1988.
