Mountain Moods: A Visual Symphony of Kedarnath
Title: Mountain Moods
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Technique: Palette Knives in Impasto
The Beauty of the Mountain
In this evocative piece, the majestic mountains of Kedarnath stand tall and resplendent. The palette knife technique brings out the rugged textures and dynamic forms of the peaks, creating a sense of grandeur and permanence. The interplay of light and shadow captures the changing moods of the mountains, from the serene dawn to the fiery hues of sunset. The rich, textured strokes convey the raw, untamed beauty of nature, inviting viewers to experience the awe-inspiring landscape firsthand.
The Eye of God
Kedarnath is not just a geographical location; it's a spiritual epicenter. The artwork embodies this sanctity by depicting the mountain as the "Eye of God." The central peak, highlighted with ethereal light, becomes a divine presence watching over the town. This symbolic representation reinforces Kedarnath's significance in Hindu spirituality, where the natural world is intertwined with the divine. The use of impasto brings a three-dimensional quality to the scene, making the divine presence almost palpable.
Way to Heaven
The winding paths leading up to the Kedarnath Temple are portrayed as a sacred journey—a way to heaven. These paths, carved with the knife, guide the viewer's eye through the painting, suggesting both a physical and spiritual ascent. The impasto technique adds depth and movement to these paths, emphasizing the pilgrimage's arduous yet rewarding nature. The vibrant colors and bold strokes reflect the transformative experience of those who undertake this journey, symbolizing hope, faith, and devotion.
A Must-Visit Destination
Kedarnath, nestled in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, is not only a place of religious significance but also a top destination for tourists seeking natural beauty and spiritual solace. The town's primary attraction, the Kedarnath Temple, is one of the holiest shrines in Hinduism. Surrounded by stunning mountain scenery, the area offers visitors a chance to reconnect with nature and spirituality. The painting captures the essence of Kedarnath, showcasing its serene and mystical ambiance.
This artwork, with its intricate details and vibrant textures, serves as a visual ode to Kedarnath, encapsulating its spiritual essence and natural splendor. The use of palette knives in the impasto technique not only enhances the visual impact but also invites viewers to explore the rich, tactile quality of the painting.

Presentation
I was born in Eluru, AP, India. Since childhood, I used to observe my father Sri M.S.
Murthy, while he was painting and when he finished his work, I used to clean his brushes.
Often, I used same brushes to come up with my own art. I followed my passion for art and
developed my unique style. In a career spanning more than 50 plus years as a professional artist
and have done over 3000 artwork on various subject matter such as landscapes, portraits, still
life, nudes, animals, travel, and botanicals, on different media such as oils on canvas, acrylic
on canvas, water colors on paper, etc.
I studied photography in the JNTU Government College of Fine Arts and Architecture,
Hyderabad and furthering my education by taking Color Photo Technology at the Indian
Institute of Remote Sensing, Dehradun. Upon graduation, I joined Indian Drugs and
Pharmaceuticals Limited, Rishikesh Uttaranchal, as Artist and Photographer. I have also been
serving as the President of Andhra Academy of Arts, Vijayawada for three decades for the
cause and propagation of art.
Living close to Himalayan mountains I got inspired by the splendours of nature and
Ganga river. As a result, nature is often the centerpiece of my work. My sense of the personal,
cultural and world view can be seen in my painting on Indian Tribes and Tribal Dances, Gods
such as Siva, Krishna, Ganesha, Buddha, Saints, etc. Using photography skills and my innate
innovativeness, I have extensively experimented using photo chemicals on bromide and
painting on used X-ray film after treating them. I am one of the very few in the world to do
artwork in this medium. In recent past, I have travelled around the world visiting my children.
Hence city abstracts have also become a recurrent theme.
My work has been exhibited in many prestigious galleries in India. My first exhibition
was in the Raj Bhawan, Hyderabad in the year 1968. Since then, I have exhibited my work at
Jehangir Art Gallery (Mumbai), Nehru Centre (Mumbai), Bajaj Art Gallery (Mumbai), Lalit
Kala Academy (New Delhi), India International Center (New Delhi), Triveni Art Gallery (New
Delhi), Academy of Fine Art (Kolkatta), Lalit Kala Academy (Chennai), Muse Art gallery
(Hyderabad), State Gallery of Fine Arts (Hyderabad). I have received several state and national
level awards. These exhibitions received critical applause from the press & T.V media as well
as enthusiastic response from the art lovers. My artwork is in private collections and galleries
around the world.
More recently, I have also participated and exhibited in several international juried
exhibitions both online and offline such as Studio Montclair NJ; Fusion Art, Palm Springs, CA;
Art impact International; Awesome Art Inc; Youth for Human Rights, Washington DC;
Artivita Online Art; Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery; The Contemporary Art Gallery
Online; Sacramento Fine Arts Center, Carmichael, CA ; Chico Art Center, Chico, CA, and
many others.
When I reflect upon my long association with art, I find that the creative process is just
as intriguing and rewarding as the final outcome of my projects. This desire to create has always
been strong even when others have tried to dissuade me. The internal push to create has given
me an appreciation for the process of exploration, patience and the beauty of art. I believe this
creative and explorative journey has become about freedom to create and the freedom to
express myself.
