Born in Kerala in 1940, Velu Viswanadhan moved to Paris In 1968.
He has been one of the founders of the artists' village of Cholamandal
in 1966.
In his early years he drew inspiration from the geometrical
ritualistic-magical diagrams of Kerala. Even after delving much
in contrasted materials like paper, canvas and metal, the
geomatrical patterns still continue to influence him as a
breathing pattern. (more)
