Artist Shibu Natesan, 59, deftly works with these elements to imbue every painting with a unique atmosphere. The painter's gaze seems to be akin to that of a photographer's. The paintings are nearly photorealistic, conveying the feel of the environment, the personality of the subject and the essence of the landscape to the viewer.
