Bhushayya Kunuku

Kunuku Bhushayya is a well-known artist from Hyderabad who showcases various facets of God through his incredibly colored paintings. His riveting collection of works is an amalgamation of figurative and abstract art styles. Torn apart textured surface sets the background of his paintings whereas spiritual and divine thematic palette sets the foreground. Unlike other artists who put perky colors in their paintings that can drive our eyeballs crazy; he incorporates colors that are shadowy and can complement the walls of modern interiors. Apart from the use of colors, a dusky layer of black texture also covers his canvas giving his artwork a contented look.
