ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Karur’s soulful artist on a mission to spark meaningful conversations through art. Architect turned self taught creator. Let’s dive deep into the world of emotions and thoughts together.
#ArtisticConversations
Sinduja Muthuchamy began her artistic endeavours at a young age. Her father, Mr.Muthuchamy, would tell her mythological stories, which would fantasise her. The father and daughter struck off a lovely discussion about the morality and outlook on life that are taught in Indian religion. She began delving into the meanings underlying each component of temple art in her own unique manner. She shaped herself while pursuing her bachelor’s degree in architecture. She still had a strong internal interest for the beautiful arts, though.
The CORONA epidemic claimed her father’s life in 2021.She felt too isolated to have a meaningful conversation because she was sorely missing her father. She opened this art gallery to honour her father and help the next generation benefit from the knowledge she had learned from him.
