Artist Statement :

Vijaya Rajagopalan has always been painting or sketching. She began as a self-taught artist in her early school years, and started sketching with charcoal from her mother's kitchen. She continued sketching as a hobby at school and added on water colors, oil and more recently, acrylic. She has lived all over India and her paintings reflect these experiences. She is a keen observer of the simple aspects of life around her and attempts to capture these perspectives on her canvas.     Profile
