While Sivanesan’s paintings from some years ago were deemed too popular, or illustrative, his works later proved he was true to exacting the spirit of art. His forte lay in two branches of art, the portrayal of interiors and the delineation of still life. On each imaged face the painter imposed his own perception.
Sivanesan was born in Chennai in 1940. He joined the Madras College of Arts and Crafts in 1956 and won an award at the International Inter Church competition, New York in 1962. The reputable artist carried several one-man shows under his belt, held within India and internationally. These included exhibitions in Bangkok in 1976, Los Angeles in 1977, Ottawa, Canada in 1978 and New York and Washington D.C. in 1979.
