Frog Painting

Art is a conversation for Jayakumar Karunakaran. The canvas is where his mind makes its most eloquent remarks. His observations on the canvas are a window to his forthright and thoughtful mind. Reflecting his profound observation, passion and compassion for nature and human predicament, Jayakumar's work reaches out to connoisseurs in a unique manner. Nature has been the biggest inspiration and medium for his work at all times. Elements from the nature often form his language. Drawing a spark from some of the most commonplace sights in nature, Jayakumar weaves a profound story on his canvas. When a thought strikes him, he lets it settle for a day and then gives it form on his canvas. His style has a strong leaning towards impressionism. The depth of colours in his work can be attributed to this and his enthusiastic perspective towards life and art. Jayakumar loves interacting with fellow artists and is greatly influenced by the works of masters like Oskar Kokoschka. Being an advertising professional, Jayakumar has found expression for his art at commercial and artistic platforms equally. His ability to switch seamlessly between both the platforms gives a specific edge to his work. A man with immense love for all forms of art, Jayakumar also indulges in poetry.
