The journey of Kiran Varikilla as an artist started very young when he was inspired by the appreciation and direction given to him by his school art teachers. His conviction towards art made him opt for a radically different path-art, which was very new for his family. He, with utmost dedication moved out of his village and came to Hyderabad to pursue his Bachelor of fine arts degree from Sri.Venkateshwara College of fine arts 2006. The sombre earthy hues and the schematic representation of codified imagery of Kiran Varikilla accentuate his dominant inner self. By a flawlessly rendered canvas echoes the artist's opaque sensuality where the surreptitious metaphors collide with transparent visual space. With a solid phallic symbol in the middle, representing a foremost male desire or simply dominant thought, the pictorial backdrop conceals and reveals the essence of the artistic expression. The canvas is treated with thin layers of bright hues creating a hard but soothing visual surface upon which binaries are juxtaposed. For Kiran, the metaphors that were abstracted through a device of special segregation reflect the nature, the self and the truth.
