Early life and education
Gnana Shekar's education was an irony. Being the son of a teacher, he never had an experience of schooling. He was a curious kid who picked up on his father's collection of literature. At an early age, his imagination took a swirl when he stumbled upon an illustrated magazine which evoked a sense of visualization in him.[according to whom?]
As a fine arts student, he was influenced by great masters such as Vincent van Gogh and Niko Pirosmani, inspiring him to create intense spiritual artworks, in which he married a modernist sense of perspective with an authentic form. Though his first love was painting, later during a course, he wanted to mould his skill into photography.[3]
