Artist K Kalaiselvan is a man of many parts who has finally found his niche in painting. Graduated in Textile Designing from the College of Arts, Chennai, he prefers the abstract, semi abstract, contemporary and figurative styles. His works are not that easy to describe. Both have gone through life with all its ups and downs and finally the victory cry from his throat is full of vim and vigour because he has tasted victory and he says that it is sweet. Kalai is proud of his tough beginnings. It was this life that created in his soul a thirst to give vent to his feelings through the medium of art, and his life shaped the desire. He has evolved a language of abstraction which carries his own personal imprint of maturity and significance. Kalai is fluent in a variety of media, be it oil or acrylic.
