Sathya primarily engages in the medium of oil, watercolour and acrylic, but is keen to experiment with other techniques.
He believes that nature had constantly taught the truth of life. “I let myself flow in it; the momentum of the mood, light and shadow, and the liveliness of everything that is then defined in my art”, said the artist.
“My way of art is impressionism...I consider myself fortunate to stay in this environment and learn about various dimensions of life such as permaculture farming and forestry practised in different places in this community”, Sathya says.
This experience, he feels, stimulates a deep observation of nature, and is expressed through art. The show is on till June 30.
