YASALA BALAIAH'S batik
and acrylic paintings reflect the life and
nuances of a seeker. And it's surprising that he sees much of his world from
his small studio in Siddipet. In an age of instant
gratification and mindless marketing the unassuming retired teacher dabbles
in painting equipped only with an innate ability to grasp,
assimilate and apply.
Yasala Balaiah known for his delightful paintings of
Telangana Women, drawn from the beautiful rural backdrop of his native
land. His colorful paintings of brightly attired, dark
complexioned, straight nosed strong boned Telangana women, captured
with a native candor brings a refreshing whiff of rural splendor.
Yasala
Balaiah, an established senior artist expert at Batik Painting, at one earned
himself the nickname, "Batik Balaiah",
fascinating
people all over the world with his dexterous experiments in this medium.
Says Balaiah, It's all from imagination. Not based on
live art. Which is surprising as the brightly attired, dark complexioned
women in regular activity are reminiscent of rural life that is as close as
possible to reality. The artist never fails to mesmerize
and in his superb work his lines crisscross with exceptional
energy and power.
