sunder’s tryst with art began when he was in std v when his instincts made him grab a pen and sketch out rani rudramadevi. “i seemed to get everything right. i had her features sketched as exact replica of the photo. elders at home were impressed. my inspiration to paint is my brother who is a signboard artist. later i did paintings of leaders and as a young school boy, i made greeting cards for new year, and gave them to friends and relatives. the response from my teachers, student friends and relatives inspired and encouraged me further.”
