Murali Thrigulla, an artist from India, is deeply fascinated by automobiles, particularly antique vehicles. His body of work stems from a keen and meticulous observation of various vehicle models. Each automobile, in his view, carries its own unique significance —whether loved or disliked, every vehicle has left an imprint on someone’s life.
The scratches, dents, and modifications on these machines are more than just physical marks; they are stories—testaments to the journeys they've undertaken and the moments they've shared with people. Murali is especially drawn to capturing these subtle, intricate details, approaching each vehicle much like a portrait artist would approach the human face—revealing character, history, and individuality through every brushstroke.
