In this abstract composition, I have depicted a scene of terrorist activity, capturing the chaos and violence through various elements and textures. The scattered objects throughout the piece symbolize the aftermath and destruction left in the wake of such an act. A gun, prominently featured, serves as a stark representation of violence and its pervasive presence in the scene.
The red color in the foreground is a powerful symbol of bloodshed, conveying the immediate and visceral impact of the terrorist activity. This color choice not only draws the viewer's attention but also evokes a strong emotional response, underscoring the gravity and horror of the event.
To enhance the textural quality of the piece, I employed combs to create intricate patterns and lines. This technique adds a dynamic and chaotic element to the composition, reflecting the disorder and turbulence inherent in such a scene. The varied textures also contribute to the depth and complexity of the artwork, inviting viewers to engage more deeply with the piece and its underlying narrative.
The use of abstract elements allows for a broader interpretation of the scene, encouraging viewers to contemplate the broader implications of violence and its impact on society. Through this composition, I aim to provoke thought and reflection on the devastating consequences of terrorist activities and the pervasive nature of violence in our world.

I was born in Eluru, AP, India. Since childhood, I used to observe my father Sri M.S.
Murthy, while he was painting and when he finished his work, I used to clean his brushes.
Often, I used same brushes to come up with my own art. I followed my passion for art and
developed my unique style. In a career spanning more than 50 plus years as a professional artist
and have done over 3000 artwork on various subject matter such as landscapes, portraits, still
life, nudes, animals, travel, and botanicals, on different media such as oils on canvas, acrylic
on canvas, water colors on paper, etc.
I studied photography in the JNTU Government College of Fine Arts and Architecture,
Hyderabad and furthering my education by taking Color Photo Technology at the Indian
Institute of Remote Sensing, Dehradun. Upon graduation, I joined Indian Drugs and
Pharmaceuticals Limited, Rishikesh Uttaranchal, as Artist and Photographer. I have also been
serving as the President of Andhra Academy of Arts, Vijayawada for three decades for the
cause and propagation of art.
Living close to Himalayan mountains I got inspired by the splendours of nature and
Ganga river. As a result, nature is often the centerpiece of my work. My sense of the personal,
cultural and world view can be seen in my painting on Indian Tribes and Tribal Dances, Gods
such as Siva, Krishna, Ganesha, Buddha, Saints, etc. Using photography skills and my innate
innovativeness, I have extensively experimented using photo chemicals on bromide and
painting on used X-ray film after treating them. I am one of the very few in the world to do
artwork in this medium. In recent past, I have travelled around the world visiting my children.
Hence city abstracts have also become a recurrent theme.
My work has been exhibited in many prestigious galleries in India. My first exhibition
was in the Raj Bhawan, Hyderabad in the year 1968. Since then, I have exhibited my work at
Jehangir Art Gallery (Mumbai), Nehru Centre (Mumbai), Bajaj Art Gallery (Mumbai), Lalit
Kala Academy (New Delhi), India International Center (New Delhi), Triveni Art Gallery (New
Delhi), Academy of Fine Art (Kolkatta), Lalit Kala Academy (Chennai), Muse Art gallery
(Hyderabad), State Gallery of Fine Arts (Hyderabad). I have received several state and national
level awards. These exhibitions received critical applause from the press & T.V media as well
as enthusiastic response from the art lovers. My artwork is in private collections and galleries
around the world.
More recently, I have also participated and exhibited in several international juried
exhibitions both online and offline such as Studio Montclair NJ; Fusion Art, Palm Springs, CA;
Art impact International; Awesome Art Inc; Youth for Human Rights, Washington DC;
Artivita Online Art; Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery; The Contemporary Art Gallery
Online; Sacramento Fine Arts Center, Carmichael, CA ; Chico Art Center, Chico, CA, and
many others.
When I reflect upon my long association with art, I find that the creative process is just
as intriguing and rewarding as the final outcome of my projects. This desire to create has always
been strong even when others have tried to dissuade me. The internal push to create has given
me an appreciation for the process of exploration, patience and the beauty of art. I believe this
creative and explorative journey has become about freedom to create and the freedom to
express myself.
