Sculptor, painter, Principal of a fine arts college, National award winner, contributor to the beautification of Greater Hyderabad... these are just a few of the things Bolla Srinivas Reddy is. His current engagement is his concept called ‘Swayambhu’. He has been struck with the concept for a while and has kept it alive through time by creating sculptures and drawings based on the singular idea of Swayambhu which he explains as the ‘Genesis of a creative impulse ’. He drew and sculpted whenever the concept tugged at him and now his list is complete. For Srinivas Reddy, Swayambhu is existence; it is the self-manifestation of the omnipresent Brahman; it is the birth of a creative force and genesis of emotive expressions.
