Born in India into the wonderful Gollapudi family in 1965, I was always encouraged by my parents to express myself fully. This gift of natural curiosity and the free will to just wonder nurtured my Soul. One taste of the creative juice, the immortalizing nectar… the potion of Gods…and I am hooked forever. My name is Narasimhamurthy Gollapudi.I was born and brought up in India and I grew up in America, after we as a family moved when I was a teenager. I consider the whole world my home… these boundaries are only for politicians to fight over. The real people are more free… because we are all One in Spirit…all differences are only on the outside…but we all feel happy and sad, and sometimes want to just get up late and lie down in bed all day watching mindless tv!My artwork at the fundamental level tries to focus on this common aspects of being Human. I want to paint stuff that resonates with All people of the world…as long as you are a thinking , feeling human being…you will find something that will resonate with you… and that my friends is what sharing is all about….I on this side of the world and you on the other side can feel the same thing…don't you think that this is something we should celebrate …and enjoy and cherish?So put all your thoughts and feelings aside and just open up to the art in front of you…spend some time looking at it…relax…don't think…. let the thoughts come to you naturally…there's no need to force the thoughts and ideas…and if you don't agree with it…fine..no problem, no harm done…you just didn't like it ..that's all!!…It's that simple…you just look at another work of art. See! we unnecessarily complicate things… I certainly do!…and that's why I paint…to see what's inside Me….just curious…I may like it…or maybe not…I am not influenced by my feelings, but I am curious to see it outside on the canvas… let it be…It has a right to be expressed…after all did not my parents say the same thing about me…isn't that how I got here in the first place.? Let every one Be…everything , trust me everything in this Universe is Beautiful and ugly at the same time… if we choose to see the Beauty in it…we see the beauty… it's up to our perspective.Now enjoy.
