Ravi Kattakuri

I was born in Mudigonda village, Khammam district of Andhra Pradesh, in India, 1972. Born in an agricultural family, my sylvan surroundings by rustic people and green field with un- spoilt virgin nature left a deep impression on the my mind. The myriad hues of nature, the simplicity of village life, and the daily routine of the farmers, the swaying gait and laughter of village belles with their lustrous locks of hair left an indelible impression on my mind. As a student having been keenly interested in art he chose to be an artist in life. Having passed out of the school, I pursued a degree in Science but eventually discontinued due to the magnetism and fascination that art held for me. I did my B.F.A in Andhra University( 1993- 1997) and thereafter did my M.F.A in painting (1997 -1999) from Kala Bhavan, Viswa Bharati University, Santiniketan, West Bengal, India.
