Anand Bedrala

I find it blissful. I think it can help me rise above the banal, yet keeping myself in the domain of human psychology.

Born on 14th September 1977

I believe that art provides me with the space and platform to remain calm and express my deepest thoughts, the ones that are intending to engage the viewer and create a strong sense of connect with the human psychology. When I begin to create art, there is an explosion of ideas that are bombarded from the brain which find their way onto the canvas through my paintbrush. As I paint with the purest form of hope that my paintings strike a conversation with the viewer, I feel my paint brush becomes an extension of my mind and body, pouring out the volumes of visual creation from the core of my existence. I believe that humans are extremely complex creatures and sometimes I emulate this through intricate, simple, realistic or abstract art, hereby exhibiting the diversity that human emotions are capable of.
