The minute details in her renderings epitomizes the essential truth in the state of ‘being' .The paintings of Chameli Ramachandran are kindled by such fleeting moments in life where the ephemeral becomes the eternal. She has collaborated with her husband, fellow artist A. Ramachandran on a number of projects, especially writing and illustrating children's pictures books published in India, Japan and England. Chameli Ramachandran has held three exclusive shows of paintings.
