When Paris was pulling me into her folds,being the heart of the Arts,as far as I could see,I just wanted to illustrate books,so I started with a wonderfull offer to become a regular illustrator for"ELLE",the leading lady magazine of Europe.I was around 20 and full confidance.So these one and a half year with ELLE was supposed to be the start of a splendid carreer.But Fate had other plans with me.With the take over of the Artdirector's position,by a young guy who wanted the style to be American,I stepped out,preferring to stick to my own style.Started travelling,first South,untill we run out of water in the Sahara(nobody in the van I travelled with was very good in planning),So we had to return and the East got a serious pull over me.Wanted to become a Sadou,was one year with the Nath's in Gujerat,at Girnar,
hiva's hill,sticking out of the forest of Gir.That time was super enchanting,after that Mount Abu recieved me with all it's splendour and gave me a Duni on the top of the mountain in a place called Achalgar,with a one eyed Naga Baba,great fun,chopping firewood,improvising song's with the Baba,feeling on top of the world.But in the end I had to make a choice,my painting or the Babalife,So I found Hampi,fell in Love with the playfullness of the balancing rock's,with the Magic of Dreamland.Here I have dwelt 20 years on a Island in the Tungabadrha river,wich is giving Hampi that special flavour.The river,the Hampi Rock's,the colourfull and spontanious Lambani girls,what more does a seeker of Beauty needs?So the painting goes on,now about 35 years on this Spot,can't get enough of it,now enriched by my four incredible kids,an endless adventure.Thank's to Mataji,who has been protecting me.1943 born in Amsterdam.

This is very interesting to share my past life which is completely filled with the thoughts of REAL PAINTINGS. I still remember the days where I took the first Brush. Every corner of my house is filled with the Paintings of my Beloved Father. He was State best Drawing Teacher and the National Award Winner in his limits. This is one of the reasons for me to become an Artist. In those days my house was filled with the learners of Drawing and Paintings. With great curiosity I use to sit there and started inventing the depth of Paintings.
There is one more reason witch fills my Heart, When I was an Young Boy, playing Cricket with my friends all of sudden the Boll hit the Painting which was kept for the drying and got damage, With much fear I corrected that Painting with nil knowledge. It looked like without any damage, but my father found and called all the members of my family with furious voice and questioned, with trembling voice I said that was ME! Suddenly he hugged me tightly and appreciated saying you has done this as the most Senior Artist does! And he inspired me to continue. That deeply rooted me in my Mind and started working on that along with my Father.
As I was in the process of developing the Painting skills I have got many Awards from State and District level. My Passion reached at the Intermediate stage to get the “Gold Medal” for my Painting name called “CYCLONE” by the National Level Painting Competition conducted of Vijay Informations. This was drawn by the real experience that I have gone through. Later I joined for B.F.A (Bachelor of Fine Arts), as I was doing my studies I am delighted to attend many Competitions, Art Exhibitions at the same time I was in thirsty to meet the Legends of Painters just to learn the techniques. My thoughts were stimulated while sharing their experiences.
My Career started with meeting great people like MF Hussain who pat shoulders by watching my paintings on Social Issues and Valued. My life continued working in Different States and Countries. Fame extended in such a way that I was called to work with Tollywood Film Industry. The first experience is Title song Paintings for ‘KHADGUM’ Telugu Film under Krishna Vamsi Direction, Moved to Body Arts for the top Hero’s and Heroin’s for many Films. Journey continued working with ‘AATA’ Movie, Camera Men Chota K Naidu was stunned by looking at my Body Art (Tattoos) and Paintings, his words at that time influenced me to continue as an Art Director.
My Career had remarkable turning point with the Director V. Samudra who forced me to work as an assist Art Director for his Movie called “VIJAYADASAMI”. Journey successfully moved on with an unusual movie like Action, Horror, Historical, Family, Comedy and many huge Production Houses with different Directors as an Art Director.
