 “Priya
specialises in pen and ink sketches of old
temples and monuments. Her technique is
to capture the interior and exterior of
the structures in unusual angles. What started
as a love for art has earned her much appreciation
and commercial success and Priya recently
held an exhibition at the Adyar Club, where
her work, pen and ink sketches of temples,
old monuments and Ganesha’s, are on
display. She first fills all the spaces
with minute symmetrical strokes and then
darkens or lightens them, give them the
appropriate depth. Her eye for detail is
amazing, as no single structure on the temple
is left out. Her work is so unique that
galleries all over Chennai now exhibit her
work. ” |

“Her
works are drawn to a scale and not copied.
As such, it calls for a good perspective -
the angle from which you draw and the proportion
between the courtyard and the church steeple,
or the proportion between gopuram and the
entrance. Additionally feeding in minute details
of the figurines on the gopurams is a daunting
task. She seems to have a natural flair for
exact details. Remarkable really since she
does not work with a picture postcard of her
subject, but prefers to visit the site and
make her own free hand rough sketch.”
“Priya
Natarajan, is an accomplished artiste in
painting. The entire work is filled with
minute detailes structures. Priya practiced
this difficult style for the past five years.”
“A
student of logaguru, Priya’s caricatures
in black and white attracted much attention”
