Jay Varma , mostly a self-taught artist who combines a dramatic sense of colour with extraordinary detail, continues a rich history of artistic tradition, skill and reputation through several generations of his family. Begun by Raja Ravi Varma and continued by Rukmini Varma, humanist realism and its inherent poetry has been a constant inspiration for him.
