INNOVATIVE VISUALLY STIMULATING VIBRANT PAINTINGS
BABU XAVIER
My Kerala friend, Babu Xavier, lives and paints based in Kovalam Kerala....please take a moment to view a selection of his work at
SOULFLOWER

In NEW YORK U.S.A. at SOTHEBY'S auction of "INDIAN CONTEMPORARY ART" September 2006
"BOTTLED PASSION" an acrylic on canvas 32in x 26in original Babu Xavier painting sold for $4200.
Babu has since had his work successfully exhibited not only in India but also
internationally far and wide including Singapore, London and Switzerland.
He has recently (May 2010) returned from an exhibiting convention in Turkey.

The aim of this small selection of photographs below is to give you a general overview of the area around
Trivandrum - Thiruvanathapuram, the capital city of Kerala, Southern India.
You are invited to view them without any detailed comment being given for each picture though Christ Church - Trivandrum is my regular place of worship whilst in Kerala.
India should be experienced with an open mind. Please let your imagination drift anywhere when trying to give meaning to the pictures.
India and Kerala in particular contains a full tapestry of life - - - that's what makes it so welcoming and enjoyable - - -
family atmosphere and friends - - - starting with a wedding - - -
