Deviprasad Rao

Deviprasad C Rao is a freelance journalist, photographer and now paints full time. A BCom graduate, journalist, and IT professional into marketing and public relations, Dev turned his back on this world of updating and upgrading, strategy and networking. He now spends his days painting. And quietly but firmly asserts that he has chosen the way of the artist is the only way for him.
Deviprasad's works, although unpremeditated, are process - based abstractions combined with quirky, child-like imagery and surrealistic poetry. It's a very unusual combination. Despite the apparent lack of structure there is an inborn sense of symmetry and composition. The center play of empty spaces in his paintings is one of the most interesting parts of his work. They are infused with light and poetry.
