The journey of Kappari Kishan as an artist started when he was appreciated by his teacher in school for a flawless drawing, which was done as a part of the studies.
The attention and applause that he received inspired him to pursue drawing and painting consistently and devotedly. His strong hold on the brush was soon apparent to his friends and they started requesting him to write political messages on the walls, he graciously accepted such work. Gradually, he got engaged in painting temple walls with images of Gods and Goddesses and also rendered a few portraits on commission basis.

Kappari Kishan introduces a marked degree of novelty in the contemporary representation of images focusing on Telangana. The main protagonists however, remain the same- ‘women’ and/or ‘girls’. He also tries to transcend regional concerns in a way when he incorporates images of the Buddha in his works. The layout of the paintings often show large human forms in the foreground, while the background serves as a backdrop where the storyboard is elaborated to be read against and in relation to the images in the fore.
Kishan experiments with different paint media. He also diversifies to paint on wooden structures. Multiple faces of wood cuboids assume new vitality due to the paintings and in turn the paintings gains different vantage points on the 3D surface. Thereby also the viewers are motivated to look on and on at the works.
