In a world of humans & gods

Prakash G Nayak and G Subramanian excel in miniature paintings. While one finds inspiration in nature, the other looks to theatre for ideas

When you look at his paintings, you are struck by the use of bright colours and the depicting of serious expressions on the subjects' faces. Prakash G Nayak excels in miniature paintings and loves playing with colours.

His journey in his own words...

I got my diploma in fine arts from Dharwad University in 1996. I have always been fascinated by miniature paintings, and traditional and folk art. This, coupled with my curiosity about gods and goddesses, made me explore work that could combine both. I have also been painting landscapes as well. My miniature paintings have a leaf, a lotus and water somewhere!

New vistas

I was exposed to modern art rather late in my professional life, and I wouldn't describe myself as a complete modern artist. I like the blend of modern and traditional art. I love to play with colours. Red, blue, green, yellow and orange are the colours that I use in almost all my paintings. They are strong colours and they add a lot of richness and depth to my work.

What next?

I hope to explore the field of abstract art and spend more time on creative landscape paintings. I want to experiment with colours and use them to add a new dimension to my work.
