M Praveen Goud (b. 1986)

I was always passionate about science, mathematics ,technology  diagrams and  fashion art. Technology  plays a great role in our  lives  and   influences   culture  and  human  beings.  Series of Electro- Sapiens   deals with the idea that technology has almost entered  our  bodies   externally and  internally  and  that  science  +  technology +  fashion =art. I combined images from fashion magazines  with my portraits  created with  bulbs, sockets, Led’s, conductors and various electronic components that emote our present culture- One that is interlinked with the wire of ‘Globalization’.
