About Sivananda Nyayapathi (Siva)
Sivananda, Siva for short, believes that art is the innate nature of human beings. It is one of the most natural ways of communication. Everyone drew as a kid. As the kid grows, he or she develops other interests and drawing takes a back seat.

Siva continued with his interest in the drawing. The reason could be that there was inspiration right at home. His father was an accomplished artist too. Siva learnt drawing and water color painting from his father for many years. Siva started painting in oils while pursuing his studies in engineering. Soon he was exhibiting and winning medals.

Siva has studied art from very prominent artists after coming to USA.
