Sure, yet delicate strokes, vibrant colours, strong postures and expressions and beautiful patterns are all the trademarks of Anjani Reddy’s artwork.The women in her paintings,stand out from, and at the same time,are a part of their surroundings. A nostalgic,dreamlike quality permeates every brushstroke, transporting the viewer into a brighter world seen through the eyes of these women.

‘ I am a teacher but painting is not work for me. Painting is like meditation for me.The sense of calm that I get during the time I paint is what I want the world to see and relate to,’ says Anjani Reddy. She was Professor and Head of the Department of Painting,at the College of Fine Arts, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad.
