Mural art of kerala and me  

Posted

The mural painting tradition of Kerala is connected with its nature and vivid,colourful myths. This art has developed its own indigenous colours derived direct from nature and an exclusive technology. We use of just five basic colours like Ochre yellow,Ochre red,Blue,Green,white and black. This rich heritage of Kerala's mural art which were confined to the walls of temples and palaces has evolved to accommodate new content and themes to old methods.









I am a trained civil draughtsman but was always interested in painting. I was always fascinated by mural paintings in walls of temples all over Kerala and joined Guruvayoor mural painting institute to learn more about this great art. The 5 year intensive course under Guru Mummiyur Krishnankutty Nair (Guruvayoor, Kerala ) enabled me to have an in depth knowledge on this traditional art form. This is not just a place to showcase my works, but for the world to know the beauty of this great art. I hope you enjoy this visual treat.
