Beyond Barcelona Prelude

Deviprasad C Rao is a freelance journalist, photographer and now paints full time.

When Deviprasad Rao made a trip to Barcelona, six years ago, he could have hardly envisaged then, how this visit would describe his career. All that he saw and experienced affected him deeply, particularly the Catalan modernists Miro, Klee and architect Gaudi. As to be expected in a young painter what followed was a body of works influenced by these painters titled the “Minutiae Series”. These works were well received for their freshness and charm and contributed to Deviprasad’s career as painter; and set the tone for the drawings exhibited in “Beyond Barcelona Prelude”, which form part of the Beyond Barcelona collection of drawings and canvas works.

He now spends his days painting. And quietly but firmly asserts that he has chosen the way of the artist is the only way for him.
