Born in India in 1976, now living in Norway, Sriram is a self-taught artist who took to painting in his late 30s. He paints mostly in watercolours. His favourite subjects are people on the streets going about their daily lives from young to old, from reading to walking their pets to browsing or just a chit-chat and street views
