KATAYUN SAKLAT

Katayun Saklat is a septuagenarian Parsee artist from Calcutta, and owner of art galleries in Calcutta, Gallery K2, and Gallery Katayun. Born to parents, who were painters, her taking up art at a tender age was all but natural. She went to JJ College of Art in Mumbai to learn commercial art after which she went to do masters in fine arts from an art college in Mumbai. The turning point in her life came in the form of a three-year trip to London to master the art of anatomy drawing from Patrick Reyntiens, a noted medieval stained glass painter in the UK. Bright colours and anatomy is her forte.
