into my life and of those
around me. A flight of my
rather dream like fancies,
what I love most about
painting is the excitement and
joy of being able to create a
world of my own.

COMMENTS
Young Santhy's paintings are lively and mature.She holds promise -
R.Venkataraman,Former President of India
Colourful show of a high standard - K.M Adimoolam, Chennai
Amazing facility in handling colour and form - P. Gopinath, Cholamandal
I liked the freedom, imagination and technique she has used in 'Paradise'.
- Shivaji K Panikker, Baroda
Santhy's line work and the use of colours are bold and imaginative.
Nandita Krishna , Chennai
PRESS REVIEWS
Facile with the brush. Fearless use of colours and colour combinations
mark her style of work. - Indian Express July 1995.
Over the years Santhy has developed more than just a style. The lines have
grown bolder, strokes firmer and the colour scheme contained and mature.-
EXPRESSWEEK , December 1998.
It's a riot of colours blended with youthful imagination. Maturity that far
belies her age.- India Today , September 1999.
The colours, bold and vibrant spring joyously from her palette. For one so
young, Santhy's observations are candid and adult-like; the detailing in
style and form reflects an observant eye; and the blend of childlike imagination
with a startling reality in choice of subjectsmakes her an outstanding artist.
Uma Girish -Madras Plus with The Economic Times, September 1999.
Santhy's lines are mature and her choice of colours leaves nothing to be desired.-
K.Ramakrishnan , Chandamama.
With pure intense lines and colours that evoke nostalgia, this little painter
goes right into our hearts. - P.K.Sreenivasan , Journalist.
From a critical point of view, perhaps Santhy's work could do with a little more
refinement. But when it comes to transferring her minds flight of fancy on to
canvas, she does so with great precision. It is this high quality of art at such
a young age that makes her an artist to watch out for .
- Farwa Imam Ali-The New Indian Express, October 1999.
Santhy's exhibition 'Dreams Memories Reflections' brings a contemplative pause to the frenetic pace of city life.
- Menaka Jayasankar- The Indian Express, Mumbai, April 2001.
Santhy shows a strong sense of composition and keen observation.A wide range of emotions is seen in her figurative compositions.
- Jasmine Shah Varma- Mid Day, Mumbai, April 2001.
