Sri Sattiraju laxminarayan born on Dec 15, 1933 in West Godavari, graduated in
law from the university of Madras. But his passion was always for drawing. His brilliance in bringing out the essence of any literary piece with a few simple yet beautiful playful strokes catapulted him to work on many literary works & poems in telugu.
Bapu introduced a style of painting that uses simple bright colours, freehand drawing and lack of background clutter that made his work simple beautiful & popular. Specially his female forms earned a sobriquet "Bapu Bomma" as it describes precisely the beautiful women of telugu.
He received numerous accolades, awards and International recognition for his work; above all, he was honoured with Padmashri in the year 2013.
The Tirumala tirupathi, Bhadrachalam and few prominent devasthanams appointed him as the 'Asthana chitrakar' in honour of his work.
