About Me

Hi, am G.S.B Agnihothri, fondly Agni for friends and relatives. I was born in Kumta of Uttara Kannada district, Karnataka and was brought up in Mysore, a well known city of Karnataka with a rich cultural back drop and royal heritage. I live in Bangalore, a metro city of international repute which is also known as the Silicon Valley of India. From an early age I had a liking for art and painting, it only grew stronger during my adolescence. By 1994 , I was seriously involved in art and pursued painting with heart and soul. Now, at 40, I live happily with my wife and daughter. Over the years my persistence and talents have provided me enough room and space to expose myself to different genres of paintings and other art forms. My interest in art and literature has influenced my paintings to a great extent. Added to this is my vivid experience as a journalist which gave me a great understanding of the Society, Nature and its Diversity. The experience and situations ‘m exposed to as a journalist is certainly worth a treasure that i often carry to my paintings.
