T. Athiveerapandian
Born in January 1966, Athiveera Pandian received his Diploma in Fine Arts from the Government College of Arts and Crafts, Chennai, in 1989 and followed it up with a Master's degree in Fine Arts (Painting) from the same institution in 2002. Pandian's abstracts are easily recognizable for their character and style. He prefers to use larger-format surfaces, and the technique he uses to depict his amorphous ideas, impressions, and emotional responses creates a surreal idiom. Through his choice of colours and contrasts, the artist creates an ethereal atmosphere.
