Early life

Srinivasan was born on 24 January 1972 in the Saivite family in a small Thanjavur village, in Rajamannarkudi. In his younger years, the rich artistic tradition of his village influenced his visual education, and the cultural and artistic rituals of his native village are now integral to his identity.

In 1996 he completed his Bachelor in Fine Arts at the Government College of Arts and Crafts in Chennai.[2][3] He obtained both a Master of Arts and Master in Philosophy in Public Administration. He completed his Master's Degree in Fine Arts on Painting at the Government College of Fine Arts, studying at Tamil Nadu Music and Fine Arts University, Chennai, in 2016.

Career

Srinivasan moved from traditional tools to expressing his emotions and sentiments by engaging with digital technology. He studied Saiva Siddhanta for three years at the Thiruvaduthurai Mutt[4] and obtained the title "siddantha Ratnam." He adds philosophic preferences and welfares from Saiva Siddhanta to his artistic creations. His works have been showcased as drawings, digital prints, installations, videos and three-dimensional sculptures. He says, "Each work of art takes, at a minimum, 250 to 450 hours to create and is an intense and laborious process". Srinivasan created the unique colours of Java Green, Sriblue, 369Red, KurinjiViolet, and CholaBrown.

He works at the School of Architecture and Planning, Anna University, Chennai.[5] He has participated in many national painting camps,[6] such as a workshop on Non Toxic and Safe Etching Processes, from 13 to 16 September 2005, at Lalit Kala Akademi Chennai by Chayo De Chevez, the American print maker.

In 2016 he formed an Integrated Village for Arts[7][8] to enable younger generations to learn about ancient paintings and artistic treasures. In 2005, Srinivasan had a vision about starting a university for fine arts and he wrote about this in the Tamil Magazine Amuthasurabhi.[9] This vision became reality, as the Tamil Nadu government has announced the start up of the new Tamil Nadu Music and Fine Arts University in November 2013.[10] The artist has expressed his concern about the ancient rock arts that are extinct in Villupuram district and he has started a Council to protect the wrangling of archaeological arts with three of his friends.[11]
