BIO OF 1ST PLACE WINNER: Murugan Paramasiva Devar (PM)
I am a multidisciplinary artist and curator specializing in scientific concept-based abstract art, with a deep expertise in AI-generated works, contemporary art, and modern wall decor. Drawing from my extensive experience in science and technology — particularly my background in the Physical Lab at ISRO — I create art that bridges the worlds of science and creativity, offering visually engaging interpretations of complex scientific themes. As a data-driven curator, I leverage analytics and insights to curate collections that reflect emerging trends in both traditional and modern art.
Curatorial Expertise:
- Curator & Data-Driven Curator: Skilled in analyzing and curating art using both traditional judgment and data-driven insights, ensuring collections are aligned with artistic trends and audience engagement.
- Artistic Themes: Infinity, relativity, Einstein’s theories, spacetime curves, quantum entanglement, astronomy, and the mathematicians of the 15th century.
With expertise in calligraphy, abstract, and contemporary art, I bring an innovative perspective to both the creation and curation of art, capable of judging a wide range of artistic expressions, from traditional to modern.
As a passionate artist and curator, my work is grounded in the exploration of scientific phenomena through art, making complex ideas accessible and enjoyable for both art and science enthusiasts.
