Srinibas Lenka - Learn Art of Painting

Painting was introduced to me by an artist friend who had seen my confident strokes on paper. Inspiration was all around and painting became my love as early as 1994. A year later, I started out as a freelance painter.
Soon I travelled down south to Chennai where I met Bhagwan Chauhan and K.M. Adimoolam at the Cholamandalam artist village. Thus began my journey as an artist. I went on to learn under late Jaspal Singh and K.G. Subramaniyan
My ealier works with figurative in acrylic on canvas. But, when I was introduced to the Shantiniketan art circle by 1999. Images and thoughts from the region started to influence my work. Srikrishnapur, near Shantiniketan, has been the root of a lot of my painting. I started to introduce abstractness in my figurative works. By the turn of the millennium, I moved to abstract landscapes.
Having grown up in Rourkela in Orissa, most of my paintings take me back to roots.
