I recently created a portrait of Subramania Bharathi, a renowned Indian poet, writer, and freedom fighter who fought for India’s independence from British rule. This portrait captures Bharathi’s wisdom, passion, and determination, and I am proud to have created it as a tribute to this inspiring person and his many contributions to Tamil literature and Indian society. I was inspired to create this portrait on the occasion of Bharathi’s 140th birth anniversary, at the request of a friend. Bharathi’s poetry and activism continue to inspire people around the world, and I hope that my portrait will help others to learn more about his life and work. “Achamillai Achamillai” (“Fear notFear not“) is the tagline for this work – something Bharathi lived by, and has now become an inspiration for me as well.
