A charted accountant by profession, Puri showcases his love for nature in his 12th solo exhibition "Live Green" prsented by TAD Arts in association with myGREENkart.Com and World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
"I know I am what one would call a 'corporate bird' but for me, there was never any transition as such. Art has always been my passion and I have followed it since I was 9-10 years old. I turn to it as it makes me happy and for me it is an expression of my inner passion," says Puri, who works with the medium of oil on canvas.
Currently based in Nigeria, Puri has presented his work in many solo as well as group exhibitions since 1995, both in Nigeria and India.
A self-trained artist, his works are testament to his deep engagement with nature and it's themes, celebrating the richness of lush landscapes through its colour, mood and varied forms.
"I paint on nature and themes related to it as I travel and walk a lot. I love walking in the woods and it is from here that I derive my inspiration. I find that nature is beautiful in all its forms and I attempt to capture that very beauty," says Puri.
The veteran artist, has held many solo shows including, 'Wilderness' in October, 2007, 'Vasundhra - a celebration of landscape' in December, 2005, 'Rhapsody in Hues' in Lagos, Nigeria in March, 2005. MORE
