About Me: Seshadri is an engineer by profession. He holds a degree in electrical engineering and is also a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers in India After his graduation in 1964, he joined the steel industry and worked in senior capacities in major steel plants in India and abroad for over 30 years. He lives in Mumbai,India and is an independent consultant in the marketing of industrial products.

This background might seem entirely unconnected with the world of art, but for decades Seshadri has been wielding the brushes as a hobby. Although he is an entirely self-taught artist ,he has held a few one-man shows to his credit and been part of regional group exhibitions in Bombay, Bangalore and Delhi in the 70's and 80's. In the new Millennium he has had a private shows in New York and San Fransisco in the years 2006 and 2008.

Caught up in the rat race, however, he had little time to devote to my canvasses and virtually gave up painting. But the new millennium brought with it a new phase of creativity, and he has again finding himself painting and capturing the evanescent moments of life.
