BIO

Born on May1st, 1977 in Hyderabad,Telangana, Akshay Anand Singh formal art education began and did B.F.A. at S.V. College of Fine Arts, Hyderabad. And went on to do M.F.A from Hyderabad Central University. 

Having studied Under Laxma Goud, Akshay effortlessly imbibes his mentors.  Over the years his work evolved  through documenting his environments in and around Dhoolpet, a busy centre for petty business and craft, exploring the possibilities of depicting the world around and catching up with permeation of aesthetics.He Observes as a connoisseur and captures the people of Telangana in the urban milieu. His representation of crowds in typical outfits and their culture irrespective of communities is predominant in his coloured drawings.This Imaginary seems to be quasi-realistic against plain backdrop juxtaposed with autos, streets, cluster of shops, open bazars and beautiful architecture of the old city. Interestingly, he confines himself to mundane reality of the city exploring ordinary life in jummerat bazars, irani cafes and so on. What might be suggestive in his paintings is a peaceful amalgamation of cultures, a strong bonding between people, sharing and caring each other while working for daily bread, celebrations,commuting etc.
