For Saravanan, change is the only unchanging thing, which becomes a recurring theme in his work. He traces the progress of ant holes, mud hills, umbras, penumbras and other transitional/ transformational phenomena, which are guide to the ever changing play of nature, material, form and light. There is both a comfort here with diversity in material and diversity in re-stating experience, which undoubtedly, is the strength of his work. He holds a BFA (2004) and a MFA (2006) from the Government College of Arts, Chennai.
