All that glitters

Creativity that eludes a label

Eyes and flowers One of the creations of Udaya

The creativity of Udaya Chiluveru doesn’t fit into a category of a sculptor, painter, goldsmith or someone who works with wood. She is adept at all these and more. Using myriad materials ranging from acrylic on canvas to wood cuttings to gold foil to diamonds, Udaya brings alive the images in her mind.

The shine and shimmer in her works is real. If one of the canvas has a piece of zari sari paloo giving the realism, then another has a diamond stuck at the place where the ear stud ought to be.

The shine of the gold is not an even shimmer but one that is hammered down at edges to buffness, showing the skill of the artist.

More than the medium, the idiom of Telangana dominates. The images of women chatting, waiting with sunflowers in their hands or jasmines in the hair, the dark skinned men, it is as if time has stilled. The images are one thing, the execution is what marks out the work of this artist. The command over the three-dimensional space gives a realism with the relief.
