Seshadri is an engineer by profession. He holds a degree in electrical engineering and is also a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers in India. After his graduation in 1964, he joined the steel industry and worked in senior capacities in major steel plants in India and abroad for over 30 years. He lives in Mumbai (aka Bombay) with his family. He is an independent consultant in the marketing of industrial products.
This background might seem entirely unconnected with the world of art, but for decades Seshadri has been wielding the brushes as a hobby. Although he is an entirely self-taught artist he has had a few one-man shows to his credit and been part of regional group exhibitions in Bombay, Bangalore, and Delhi in the 70's and 80's. Also a couple of private shows in NY and CAL.
Caught up in the rat race, however, he had little time to devote to his canvasses and virtually gave up painting. But the new millennium brought with it a new phase of creativity, and he is again finding himself painting and capturing the evanescent moments of life.

Thinking out of the box means escaping a set frame of mind. What we know and how we related stuff to each other is bounded as if in a picture frame.. So, we just operate within those boundaries.
"BOX" is "MEMORY" from where old ideas, thoughts, concepts arise. While these old things can work as solutions to some or all technological problems, they are woefully inadequate when it comes to solving psychological problems. That is where thinking or perhaps at a profoundly deeper level of consciousness, NON-thinking must happen "OUT OF THE BOX".
I have tried to depict them through the medium of colours . For example 'red' for anger etc. The ideas are shown jumping out of the brain. This is an abstract painting. I have used colours to show various feelings of a person. The problem of anger, fear, jealousy, hatred cannot be solved IN THE BOX. One has to be totally free of old, stale ideas in order to look at psychological problems
Original Oil painting on canvas.. Size: 36"x48".
ENJOY!

Nature dances to no ones rhythm except her own
She sits proud and arrogant on her thrown
She is inconstant, up one day and down the next bout
Like an ocean tide going in and out
Nature is born of the universe
Or is it that she is one with the universe
Nature is unconquerable
Nature is invincible
Nature is beautiful
With an abundance of mysteries, she is bountiful
Nature is original law
When there was no man, she was there before
Nature bore us
Nature is us

Colour is a progressive art. While my paintings draw much from the tradition, my effort has been to explore the new concepts in manipulation of colour. I try to interpret them in aesthetic terms which one might comprehend without difficulty. I have used many filters in PS7 to get this image. Enjoy!
This is a Mixed Media traditional painting.A high resolution of the image will be emailed. This will allow large prints on canvas, art and photo papers.
