Artist, Kandi Narsimlu: “Capturing Rural India’s Vibrant Essence”

Kandi Narsimlu, a contemporary Indian artist, infuses life into the bucolic landscapes of Telangana with his vivid and captivating subjects.

His canvases burst with a riot of colors, celebrating the visual opulence of rural India. The figures in his paintings often exhibit green or blue skin, a nod to each village’s ‘gram Devta,’ the deity revered by the local populace. These references add layers of cultural richness to his work.
