Kerala, India is where I spent my first 8 years of my life. Every time I visit or see it, I'm amazed. There’s a beauty worth appreciating. Each person's face is written with their life story told through their wrinkles, scars, hair, the marks on their arms, their clothes, their environment, etc. These paintings are an attempt to render that beauty.
