He completed his education at the Government College of Arts & Craft, Chennai from 1960 to 1966. After completing his Diploma in Advanced Painting in 1966, Adimoolam started a series of black and white portraits of Mahatma Gandhi. He passed away in January 2008. Experience: Adimoolam’s canvases partake of his inner energy and vision, emerging as an extension of his mind that seems to put down color without referring to the artist himself. Adimoolam works with equal ease at drawing and painting, combining the two to produce a large body of work. Adimoolam interprets nature, making his paintings abstract renditions of the natural world purely through color. His sketches are a constant search for greater freedom of expression and serve as an outlet for his creative energy.
