By opting for the 'A Day with Master' package, visitors will get a chance to spend some time with talented artist Mr Gireesan Bhattathiripad. The visitors can see his paintings, listen to his stories and learn about different techniques involved in the painting. One can also try their hand in painting and buy works of the master. Visitors will also be provided with a scrumptious lunch.
Having been influenced by the paintings of the temple walls of Kerala in his boyhood, Mr Bhattathiripad thinks more in terms of colour than form. Those paintings on the walls that he saw were dull due to the ravages of nature. The artist tried to make every stroke of the pigment as bright and burning as possible.
Having studied the basic elements of painting, Mr Bhattathiripad created a world of his own more comfortably with forms in colour. He keeps a kind of spirituality of colour, which is lyrical as well as aggressive.
