Dr.GATTEM VENKATESH

 I am a self-taught artist. From 2011, I have carved out 396 artworks with waste materials, paper, chalk pieces, match sticks, toothpicks, pencils, soaps, bangles, inviting laurels etc.,. I have bagged 100+ awards and records.(While undergoing architecture course.)

                              In this book, I am sharing my journey in this art. All this was possible only because of my parents who supported and encouraged me.

                              It all started during a vacation time after my high school (10th class). I made a miniature model of Lord Ganesha with glass bangles just out of boredom. My parents saw this, encouraged me and asked me to concentrate in my art. And thus…my journey started….and here I am.

                              My mission is to make a mark in this field which I have chosen to embark on and to contribute to my hometown by setting up a permanent platform for aspiring artists. I have always wanted to be unique. I want to come up with an art model so unique that no one has even thought of it in their wildest dreams.
