Velu Viswanadhan was born in Kerala in 1940. He trained at the College of Arts and Crafts in Madras, where he studied under the celebrated painter K. C. S. Paniker. Viswanadhan subsequently became a founding member of the famous artists’ village Cholamandal. From the late 1960s, he settled in Paris, establishing a studio there. Viswanadhan’s profoundly geometric works demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of line, form and negative space.
