Ramachandran completed his education at Kala Bhavan and Visva-Bharati University at Santiniketan, where she received her Diploma in Fine Arts in 1960, and a Master’s degree in Ancient Indian History and Culture in 1966. Her name was given to her by Santiniketan’s famous artist and poet-in-residence Rabindranath Tagore. Experience: Ramachandran’s sensitive compositions capture the gentle, discreet amity of natural elements such as breeze and light, as they play with leaves and flowers. The hushed rustling of the trees and the sun’s translucent rays bouncing off the soft concave surfaces of flower petals is brought to life by her masterful amalgamation of metallic pigments with ink. Her most recent solo and group shows include those held at Grosvenor Vadehra, London, in 2008; Vadehra Art Gallery, New Delhi, in 2005 and Visual Arts Gallery, New Delhi, in 2003.
